Job Description:

£33,000 - £40,000 + Overtime + Call Out + Weekly Pay

A growing, independently run fire detection specialist is looking to add an experienced Fire Alarm Engineer to its close-knit team. With a strong reputation for quality delivery and a low staff turnover, this is an opportunity to join a business where engineers are genuinely valued and not just a number.

With a team of around 13 staff, including 6 engineers, the company has built steady growth through long-term client relationships and consistent standards across installation, service, and commissioning.

• Basic salary £33,000 - £42,000 (flexible for highly experienced engineers)
• Weekly pay structure
• Paid travel time after 30 minutes each way
• Overtime available
• Call out rota 1 in 5:
  • £100 standby payment
  • Double time when called out
  • Additional dispatch fee per job
• Primarily North West-based work
• No overnight stays required (none in the past 12 months)
• Stable, supportive working environment within a small team

• Installation, servicing, maintenance and commissioning of fire alarm systems
• Working across a range of sites including commercial and industrial environments
• Fault finding and diagnostics on open protocol systems
• Completing accurate service reports and documentation
• Ensuring all work complies with relevant industry standards
• Occasional work on emergency lighting and fire extinguishers
• Managing your own workload while supporting a small engineering team

• Open protocol fire alarm systems
• Commonly working with C-Tec, Advanced, and Morley panels

• Proven experience working on fire alarm systems (install, service & commissioning)
• FIA qualifications or equivalent (preferred)
• Strong fault-finding ability and understanding of fire systems
• Experience with emergency lighting and extinguishers (advantageous)
• Electrical qualifications (beneficial, not essential)
• Knowledge of industry standards and compliance requirements (e.g. BAFE)
• Ability to work independently and as part of a small team
• Full UK driving licence

This is an ideal role for an engineer who prefers working in a smaller, more personal environment where your work is recognised, your input matters, and you're not lost in a large corporate structure.

If you're looking for a stable role with a strong pipeline of work and a business that looks after its engineers, apply now or get in touch for a confidential discussion.
