Fire & Security Engineer
Alarm Communications Limited are a leading team of fire protection, commercial security and building management systems specialists, with our Head Office located in Surrey. Our client base is predominantly built of prestigious buildings and landmarks, such as high-end hotels, stadia and education establishments in and around Greater London. We are currently looking to appoint a new Fire & Security Engineer, specifically covering the M25 Area.
You will have a primary focus of taking an on-site lead in the delivery of fire and security projects, including the installation and commissioning of fire alarm and security-related systems. This role requires technical expertise and hands-on involvement in the execution of projects, ensuring efficient and successful installations, whilst also providing high levels of customer satisfaction.
This position would suit someone who enjoys taking the lead on a variety of small to large-sized projects and with the additional responsibility of acting as the primary on-site contact.
Systems vary but are mostly large-scale networked systems including Gent, Advanced, Notifier, Avigilon, HikVision, Axxonsoft, Salto, Assa Abloy, ACT, Paxton, Galaxy, Texecom and Cortech
Our Engineers
- You will be working as part of a small and dedicated key account support team, so you will work regularly with a group of fellow Engineers and Apprentices.
- You will work on a relatively small group of sites getting to know them well.
- The sites are primarily long-standing, prestigious contracts with direct end-user relationships, so the works must be completed professionally and to exceptional levels of workmanship.
- The engineer will be given time, support, and resources to install these systems to the highest possible standards, with extensive training provided to achieve expert status with our primary systems.
- Reporting to the Contract Manager for that area, the Engineer will liaise regularly with their Senior Engineer, Service Coordinator, and Service Manager.
- Ongoing training and development with two appraisals per year. Many of our engineers have gone on to hold senior roles within the company.
- Nice work/life balance with a family feel.
- Plenty of overtime opportunities if wanted.
- You will take part in a callout rota with very low frequency (currently 1 week in 17 split week/weekend).
