I’m working with a growing business that is looking to bring its Fire & Security offering in-house, and they’re looking for an experienced Fire & Security Project Manager to help build and develop the new division.
This is a great opportunity for someone who wants more than just a Project Manager role and would like the chance to have real ownership in developing a department from the ground up.

* Managing Fire & Security projects from design through to commissioning and handover.
* Fire alarm system design and ensuring compliance with relevant standards.
* Preparing estimates and quotations.
* Planning labour, materials, procurement and project programmes.
* Managing costs, margins and client expectations.
* Coordinating installations, testing and commissioning.
* Producing project documentation, drawings, certificates and handover information.
* Working with manufacturers, suppliers, clients and consultants.
* Helping develop the processes, systems and accreditations needed to establish the in-house division.
* Providing technical support and helping identify new business opportunities.
About You
* We’re looking for someone with solid experience within the Fire Alarm / Fire & Security industry, ideally with:
* Strong project management experience from design through to completion.
* Good knowledge of BS 5839 and relevant Fire & Security standards.
* Fire alarm design and/or design management experience.
* Experience with estimating, quotations and procurement.
* Good commercial awareness around project costs and margins.
* Experience dealing with clients, consultants and contractors.
* The ability to work independently and take ownership.
* Experience with BAFE, BS 7671, access control, CCTV, intruder alarms and manufacturers such as Advanced, Kentec, Notifier, Morley, C-TEC, Hochiki, Apollo or
* Gent would be advantageous.
* Experience of helping to establish or develop a Fire & Security department would be particularly beneficial
