Fire Engineer / Surveyor

You will bring substantial experience of managing building, refurbishment or compliance projects throughout the project life cycle, ideally within a large, complex or occupied estate.

You will have a sound understanding of passive fire protection, including fire doors, fire stopping, compartmentation and cavity barriers, alongside the ability to interpret technical and statutory requirements and translate them into practical, deliverable projects. You will be confident developing project briefs, feasibility studies, option appraisals, cost plans, programmes and business cases, as well as managing consultants, contractors, budgets, risks, procurement and project delivery.

An effective communicator and collaborative problem-solver, you will be able to build strong stakeholder relationships, exercise sound professional judgement, maintain robust compliance records and ensure that completed works are supported by appropriate inspection, certification and handover information.

You will also demonstrate a commitment to continuous improvement, professional development, inclusive working practices, sustainability and a positive customer experience.

This is an opportunity to combine technical expertise in passive fire protection with client-side project management, taking projects from the initial identification of need and feasibility through business-case development, design, procurement and construction to completion and handover.

You will work collaboratively with Fire Safety specialists, building surveyors, engineers, maintenance teams, Estates Development, Health and Safety colleagues, academic departments, residential teams and external delivery partners to deliver safe, compliant and effective solutions across the estate.
