Are you an experienced Fire Engineer looking for a role where you can genuinely lead projects, mentor a growing team and take real ownership as the business expands across the UK?

On offer is a rare opportunity to step into a senior position where you will help drive performance for a major regional team, lead high-value fire engineering work and have a clear route to Director as the leadership structure evolves.

The Role:

• Lead and deliver fire engineering projects, including technical review and report sign-off
• Mentor and develop junior engineers while managing resourcing across projects
• Support bids and financially monitor projects to ensure strong delivery performance
• Flexible hours, predominantly office-based hybrid working in Manchester

The Person:
