Fire & Security Engineer

Fire & Security Engineer

A varied workload, a patch that keeps you close to home most days, and overtime and commission on top of a solid salary.

This is a Fire & Security Engineer role with a growing company that genuinely looks after its engineers.

As a Fire & Security Engineer you will service, maintain and fault-find fire alarm and security systems across a range of client sites, keeping them compliant and fully operational. Alongside the day-to-day service work, you will take on remedial works, system upgrades and small works installations, from extending existing systems through to fitting smaller standalone ones, so no two weeks look quite the same. Most of the work is in and around Peterborough and the surrounding counties, with the occasional national site, so you stay close to home most of the time. Joining a growing company, you will be a key part of a tight-knit service team, trusted to do the job properly and look after the client while you are there.
