Senior to Associate Fire Engineer
Salary: £70,000-£95,000
The Opportunity
An established consultancy is looking to appoint a Senior to Associate level Fire Engineer to join its London-based Fire Engineering team.
The business has an established presence across fire safety and building compliance, with over 15 years experience in the sector. It is affiliated with the IFE and IFSM, is BAFE 205 accredited, and has recently strengthened its senior leadership across Fire Engineering and FRAEW. Due to a strong pipeline of secured projects and rapid growth across the business, the Fire Engineering team is expanding and looking to appoint an experienced Fire Engineer at Senior, Principal or Associate level.
You will work across a varied portfolio of projects, delivering fire strategies, fire engineering design, qualitative design reviews and building safety case reports. The role also provides the opportunity to become involved in cladding and compartmentation remediation, fire risk assessments and external wall fire risk appraisals, should you wish.
The team is currently small enough that every engineer has a visible impact on projects and business growth, while being large enough to provide support, mentoring and technical collaboration as part of a fun, driven and growing team.
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.
