Fire Engineer Technician – London Fire Brigade
A rare opportunity has arisen to join the LFB Fire Engineering Group who operate pan-London and who seek to create and foster positive change within London and nationally through our work with the National Fire Chief’s Council and other industry representative bodies.
Within our role serving London and Londoners, we are focussed on the safety of the built environment which includes major transport and infrastructure projects. The Group work on many unique and innovative projects and, as well as seeing the design stages (through their role in the Building Regulations consultation process), they also see how buildings are occupied, managed and maintained. In addition, our engineers are called upon to provide support post-fire, particularly where there is unusual or unexpected fire spread. This is an overall perspective that is almost unique to this fire service role.
Within this role you will be developed and supported to enable you to review building regulations or town and country planning consultations and make comments and observations within the capacity of your role. While this is the primary function there are opportunities to become involved in other technical fire safety workstreams also alongside the engineers working within the team.
We are looking for individuals who have a drive to change the built environment for the better to join our diverse and growing team.
You will need to be flexible, respond positively to change and be prepared for continuous learning and professional development throughout your time in this role. The Regulations governing the fire safety aspects of buildings are evolving and you will need to ensure that you keep up to date with developments to maintain expected competence levels.
Successful candidates will be highly motivated and organised individuals with excellent communication skills who have a fire safety background/qualification and/or demonstrable knowledge, skills and experience relevant to the role.
An expectation of a fire safety background, while desirable, is not expected from graduate engineers from another engineering/scientific field who are applying for Fire Engineer Technician roles; appropriate fire safety training/qualifications will be provided in role.
