  • Diagnosing electrical and electronic faults on commercial fire detection systems
  • Reading wiring diagrams, schematics and technical documentation
  • Supporting customers, colleagues or subcontractors with technical queries
  • Working on commercial, industrial or public sector fire alarm installations

You'll also bring:

  • Excellent fault-finding and diagnostic skills
  • Strong electrical and electronic engineering knowledge
  • A methodical approach to troubleshooting
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain technical issues clearly
  • A customer-focused attitude and the confidence to support engineers remotely
  • Good organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple technical enquiries

It would be advantageous if you've also:

  • Provided technical support over the phone
  • Delivered technical training
  • Produced technical documentation or installation guides
  • Worked with access control, CCTV or wider electronic security systems
  • Knowledge of UK fire legislation and BS 5839.

Why Join?

You'll benefit from:

  • Monday to Friday working
  • No call-out rota
  • No motorway miles
