Job Description:

Fire Alarm Engineer

Location: Reading & Surrounding Areas
£38,000 – £45,000 Basic + Overtime + Door-to-Door Travel + Performance Bonus
35 Hour Week -  Employee-Owned Company

I’m currently recruiting for a Fire Alarm Engineer to join a highly regarded, employee-owned fire protection company covering Reading and the surrounding areas (within roughly 1 hour 30 minutes travel).

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a company known for its excellent engineer retention, supportive culture and long-term stability. It’s the type of business where engineers stay for years, not months.

If you’re looking for a role where you’re trusted, valued and properly rewarded, this is definitely one to consider.

The Role

You’ll be responsible for the service, maintenance and fault finding of fire alarm systems across a range of commercial and managed sites within your local patch.

Key responsibilities include:

• Servicing and maintaining fire alarm systems

• Fault finding and reactive repairs

• Carrying out routine testing and inspections

• Ensuring systems remain compliant with industry standards

• Providing a professional and reliable service to clients on site

Experience with Gent or Notifier systems would be highly beneficial.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This role offers some excellent long-term benefits that are rarely seen in the industry:

• Employee-owned business – after 12 months you gain shares in the company

• High engineer retention – people rarely leave once they join

• 35-hour working week providing a great work-life balance

• Door-to-door travel paid

• Overtime available to increase earnings

• Local coverage around Reading and surrounding areas

It’s a company that genuinely looks after its engineers and builds long-term careers.

What They’re Looking For

• Experience working with fire alarm systems

• Ideally knowledge of Gent or Notifier systems

• Strong servicing and fault-finding ability

• Professional and customer-focused approach

• Full UK driving licence

Salary & Package

• £38,000 – £45,000 basic salary depending on experience

• Door-to-door travel paid

• Overtime available

• 35-hour working week

• Employee ownership scheme (shares after 1 year)

• Long-term career stability

Interested?

If you’re a Fire Alarm Engineer based in or around Reading and you’re looking for a role offering stability, great benefits and a company that genuinely values its engineers, I’d be happy to speak with you.
