This industry-leading firm is widely respected for combining technical excellence with a pragmatic, creative approach to fire safety design. Their reputation for delivering on complex, high-profile projects continues to grow, and they are now seeking a driven Senior Fire Engineer to become a key part of their expanding team.

As a Senior Fire Engineer, you will take the lead on developing and delivering fire strategies for landmark projects across the commercial, heritage, residential, transport, and mixed-use sectors. The successful Senior Fire Engineer will apply expert knowledge of UK fire legislation to solve complex design challenges, working in partnership with leading architects, project managers, and multidisciplinary consultants.

The consultancy is proud of its collaborative culture, commitment to quality, and genuine flexibility - offering autonomy in how projects are managed and reported, alongside true support for continued professional development and chartership.

The Senior Fire Engineer's Role:

  • Lead the development of fire strategy reports from concept through to handover

  • Oversee performance-based design, fire engineering calculations, and design appraisals
  • Liaise directly with clients, design teams, and approving authorities
  • Guide junior engineers, contributing to team growth and project success
  • Participate in fee proposals, client briefings, and site inspections

The Senior Fire Engineer:

  • Minimum 3 years' experience as a Fire Engineer within a consultancy in the UK
  • Degree qualified in Fire Engineering (or related discipline)
  • Working knowledge of UK codes and guidance, including CFD tools (e.g. PyroSim, Pathfinder - advantageous)
  • Able to communicate complex principles clearly and pragmatically
  • Chartered or working towards chartership with IFE or equivalent (preferred)
  • Passionate about quality, collaboration, and achieving creative, risk-informed solutions

In Return?

  • 55,000 - 70,000 base salary
  • Generous bonus scheme
  • Hybrid working + flexible scheduling
  • Full support for chartership and paid professional memberships
  • Private healthcare, EAP and wellbeing incentives
  • 33 days annual leave (including bank holidays)
  • 9-day fortnight (every other Friday off - currently in pilot stage)
  • A supportive, people-first team within a genuinely exciting consultancy
