The Opportunity

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Passive Fire Site Manager to join a well-established and growing passive fire protection contractor delivering works across Richmond and the surrounding areas.

The majority of works will focus on fire door oversight, with additional responsibility across fire stopping and compartmentation works including Firefly, Rockwool curtain, partition walls and penetration sealing.

This is a leadership role for someone who can run projects independently, make decisions confidently on site and maintain excellent client relationships, escalating to the Project Manager only when necessary.
