What’s The Opportunity
Fire engineering isn’t just about compliance, it’s about helping projects work safely in the real world. We are recruiting a Fire Engineer to join our design team. This role can be based in our London, Liverpool or Manchester offices.
At Ridge, our fire engineers are part of the design team from day one. In this interesting, varied and important role you will work across a genuinely varied portfolio, from Formula 1 facilities and heritage museums projects to university frameworks and complex historic residential buildings. It’s the kind of work that calls for sound judgement, close collaboration and practical fire strategies. You’ll support the development of fire strategies that go beyond compliance, helping to achieve practical, buildable solutions that work in the context of real projects.
