I’m working with a growing business that is looking to bring its Fire & Security offering in-house, and they’re looking for an experienced Fire & Security Project Manager to help build and develop the new division.

This is a great opportunity for someone who wants more than just a Project Manager role and would like the chance to have real ownership in developing a department from the ground up.

The Role

* You’ll work closely with senior management and be involved across the full project lifecycle, including:

* Managing Fire & Security projects from design through to commissioning and handover.

* Fire alarm system design and ensuring compliance with relevant standards.

* Preparing estimates and quotations.

* Planning labour, materials, procurement and project programmes.

* Managing costs, margins and client expectations.

* Coordinating installations, testing and commissioning.

* Producing project documentation, drawings, certificates and handover information.

* Working with manufacturers, suppliers, clients and consultants.

* Helping develop the processes, systems and accreditations needed to establish the in-house division.

* Providing technical support and helping identify new business opportunities.

About You

* We’re looking for someone with solid experience within the Fire Alarm / Fire & Security industry, ideally with:

* Strong project management experience from design through to completion.

* Good knowledge of BS 5839 and relevant Fire & Security standards.

* Fire alarm design and/or design management experience.

* Experience with estimating, quotations and procurement.

* Good commercial awareness around project costs and margins.

* Experience dealing with clients, consultants and contractors.

* The ability to work independently and take ownership.

* Experience with BAFE, BS 7671, access control, CCTV, intruder alarms and manufacturers such as Advanced, Kentec, Notifier, Morley, C-TEC, Hochiki, Apollo or

* Gent would be advantageous.

* Experience of helping to establish or develop a Fire & Security department would be particularly beneficial
