FIRE & SECURITY ENGINEER - NORTH WEST
KEY POINTS
- Up to £38,000 salary DOE
* North West - Manchester, Wigan, Blackburn and surrounding areas
* Installation-led role covering CCTV, Intruder & Access Control
* Company van & fuel card with genuine opportunities to progress
ABOUT THE CLIENT
We're working with an established Fire & Security organisation with a long-standing engineering team and an excellent track record of developing people internally.
Due to continued growth, they're looking for an experienced Fire & Security Engineer to strengthen their North West operation. This particular position is predominantly focused on installation, while still supporting service requirements when needed.
THE FIRE & SECURITY ENGINEER ROLE:
This is a hands-on position for an experienced engineer who enjoys installation but is comfortable working across both installation and service.
Your main focus will be Security systems, particularly CCTV and Intruder, alongside Access Control and some Fire systems. You'll install and commission systems across projects of varying sizes while also carrying out servicing, fault finding, reactive works and occasional call-outs where required.
Day-to-day, the business aims to keep engineers within roughly an hour of home wherever possible. They do operate nationally, however, so there will occasionally be further travel and working away with notice.
You'll be joining one engineering team rather than being restricted to a single install or service department, giving you plenty of variety and the opportunity to broaden your technical experience.
There's also genuine scope to progress. Engineers within the business have moved into Team Leader and management positions through structured development plans, so if you want to progress beyond the tools longer term, there's a route to do it.
FIRE & SECURITY ENGINEER ESSENTIAL SKILLS
- Strong Fire & Security industry experience
* Proven installation and commissioning experience
* Strong CCTV and Intruder Alarm knowledge
