    • Prepare comprehensive fire strategy reports for buildings, outlining all fire safety measures, from structural design to active systems and human evacuation.
    • Strong mathematical and physics skills for hydraulic calculations, heat transfer analysis, and effective use of CAD and BIM software (Revit, AutoCAD) for design documentation.
    • Ensuring compliance with health and safety regulations and best practices.
    • Great written, oral and articulate communication skills, to present complex, performance-based fire strategies to clients, architects, regulatory authorities, negotiating design solutions.
    • Capability to conduct high-level technical reviews, quality assurance, and peer review of fire strategy reports and designs produced by other engineers.

    • Degree in Project Management or relevant subject.
    • Professional Membership with APM or RICS.
    • Previous experience leading a team.
    • Proven experience in client-facing roles or managing external client relationships.
    • Join a dynamic consultancy with excellent progression opportunities
    • Regular and committed training and CPD opportunities
    • Up to 27 days holiday (increasing with length of service)
    • Regular sports & social events - BBQ's, boat trips, bowling nights
