Fire and Security Engineer
Job Title: Fire & Security Systems Engineer
Location: Shirley, Birmingham
Salary: Starting at £35k - £40k per annum (depending on experience)
Job Type: Permanent, Full Time
The Company:
The company is rapidly expanding its operations across the UK, making this an exciting time to join a company with consistent demand for its fire and security solutions. We operate across a wide range of sectors, including education, social housing, property management, and retail, delivering everything from basic fire extinguishers to large-scale commercial fire and security installations.
Working for the company, you will be a highly organised and proactive individual with a strong sense of responsibility and professionalism. This is a field-based, lone-working role, offered on a full-time, permanent basis.
The role is predominantly Monday to Friday, 8:00am to 5:00pm; however, a degree of flexibility is required to support the operational needs of the business and ensure excellent service delivery to our customers.
Please note: only local candidates will be considered for this position, and no overnight stays or overnight travel are required as part of the role.
About the Role:
As a Fire & Security Engineer, you will be responsible for installing and maintaining a wide range of fire and security systems while continuously developing your knowledge across different technologies. Your workdays will be dynamic and varied. One day, you may be installing fire extinguishers; the next, servicing a large commercial fire detection or intruder alarm system. No two days are the same.
No matter the task, you will always act as a representative of the business, recognising the importance of delivering exceptional customer service and maintaining high professional standards at all times.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
