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.



What''s on Offer

  • 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


The Role

  • 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


Systems & Equipment

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


What We''re Looking For

  • 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.
