Job Title: Fire and Security Engineer
Location: Birmingham and Surrounding Areas
Salary: 35,000 - 40,000 (depending on experience and how well you navigate Birmingham's infamous road system)
Our client, a trusted fire and security company in Birmingham, is looking for a Fire and Security Engineer to join their growing team. If you're the kind of person who can handle faulty alarms, tricky wiring, and the occasional confused customer-all while staying calm-this might be for you.
What You'll Be Doing (No, It's Not Just Changing Batteries):
- Install, Maintain & Commission: Fire alarms, intruder alarms, CCTV, and access control systems.
- Diagnose & Repair: Pinpoint faults and fix them-ideally before anyone panics.
- Customer Support: Explaining what went wrong and how you fixed it in plain English (because "technical jargon" isn't everyone's first language).
- Compliance: Keeping everything above board and within regulations-because shortcuts never end well.
What We're Looking For (Beyond a Working Knowledge of Tools):
- Experience: You've been working with fire and security systems long enough to know the difference between a real issue and a loose cable.
- Technical Skills: You can handle installations, repairs, and fault-finding with confidence.
- Problem-Solving Abilities: Staying calm under pressure isn't just a bonus-it's essential.
- Full Driving Licence: Because getting to site on foot isn't practical.
What's in It for You (Besides the Pay):
- Salary: 35,000 - 40,000
- Van + Tools: Provided, so you're not carrying ladders on the bus.
- Paid Travel: You'll still be in traffic, but at least you'll get paid for it.
- Performance Bonuses: Do well, get rewarded-simple.
- 20 Days Holiday + Bank Holidays: We all need a break now and then.
- Career Progression: Prove yourself, and there's room to grow.
Qualifications:
- Relevant fire and security qualifications.
- CSCS/ECS card preferred-but not a deal-breaker.
- FIA Units 1 & 5? Bonus points if you have them
- Full UK Driving Licence
Alternative Job Titles You Might Call Yourself:
Alarm Specialist, Security Systems Engineer, Fire Protection Expert-or just The Go-To Engineer.
