Do you have demonstrable experience designing fire detection, alarm, suppression or firefighting systems within a highly regulated industry such as Nuclear, Defence, Energy, Oil & Gas or Power Generation? Have you produced and reviewed fire protection engineering calculations, specifications, design basis documents and technical reports as part of your role? Are you able to work remotely within the UK and travel occasionally to client sites, project locations and office locations when required?
The Opportunity
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Principal Fire Protection Engineer to join a growing fire engineering team supporting major projects across the UK nuclear and energy sectors.
Key Projects Include:
- Nuclear New Build projects
- Operational generation facilities
- Life extension programmes
- Defuelling projects
- Small Modular Reactor (SMR) developments
Your Duties and Responsibilities
- Independently plan and execute complex fire protection technical assignments, including the system design of fire detection and alarm systems, firefighting and suppression systems to codes/standards/regulations.
- Develop, coordinate, and review technical deliverables such as fire system calculations, design inputs, layouts, specifications, design-basis documents, system narratives, cause-and-effect documentation, technical assessments, reports, work plans, and technical correspondence.
