* Review fire strategy documentation and provide clear, evidenced technical comments to the project team.
* Assess fire detection, suppression and passive protection proposals against client specifications and relevant British and international standards.
* Advise on fire risk for substation and converter buildings, including hazards from transformers and oil-filled plant.
* Work with designers, suppliers and project stakeholders to close out comments and agree a compliant fire strategy.
Experience & Qualifications
* Substantial fire engineering or fire systems experience, ideally within power, transmission or other critical infrastructure.
* Experience reviewing or authoring fire strategies for substations, converter stations or comparable high-hazard facilities.
* Familiarity with UK transmission network technical standards is highly desirable.
* Working knowledge of standards such as BS 9999, BS 7974, BS 5839 and NFPA 850.
