Description:
Senior Fire Engineer
£58,000 - £65,000 | Fully Remote (within 2hrs of Central London) | Building Services Consultancy
This business is building out an active fire engineering function from the ground up, and they want someone who genuinely enjoys writing strategy rather than checking someone else's.
You'll be joining a fast-growing, fully remote sustainability and Engineering consultancy that's gone from a handful of people to a team of 15+ in under two years, working across data centres, residential, commercial, retail, healthcare and education projects. Fire sits alongside a broader in-house offer covering sustainability, BREEAM, BIM and structural design, so you won't be operating in a silo.
The Role
Write fire strategies for both retrospective projects and new developments
Survey existing structures and carry out fire risk assessments
Apply relevant fire standards and approved documents across a genuinely varied project mix
Take an evidence-based, software-modelled approach to strategy rather than relying purely on standards-based justification
Work alongside two existing fire engineers, plus wider input from senior leadership
Occasional site visits (roughly monthly), with the rest of the role fully remote
About You
Strong background in active fire engineering, not just passive/sign-off work
Comfortable and confident using fire modelling software to justify strategy decisions
Experienced surveying existing buildings and producing FRAs
Able to work independently while contributing to a small, collaborative fire team
The Business
A UK-based consultancy bringing together data analytics, sustainability and engineering to improve how buildings perform. Fully remote by design, with a genuinely flexible setup (they'll ship you a full home office, cover training and professional fees, and offer a hot-desk option for anyone who wants it). The team works across nearly every sector, is currently active on projects including large-scale data centre developments, and has been publicly recognised for innovation in the sustainability space. Culture-wise, expect a business that takes its technical output seriously without taking itself too seriously.
