We're looking for good engineers, whether your strength is Fire, Security or both.

Are you looking for a Fire & Security role where your experience is valued and you can keep developing?

At Squire Alarms, we don't expect you to be an expert in every Fire & Security discipline.

If you’ve built strong experience in Fire, Intruder, CCTV or Access Control bring us the skills you already have. If you want to broaden your skill set, we’ll give you the training and support to do it.

Training is provided both at our Head Office, where we have a dedicated training room, and on the job alongside our experienced multi-disciplined engineers.

Established in 1981, Squire Alarms continues to grow, and we're looking for another Fire & Security Engineer to join our team.

What you'll be doing

You'll work across a varied range of Fire & Security systems, carrying out servicing, maintenance, fault-finding, small works and installations, across systems including

<li class="d-flex align-items-start mb-2">Fire Alarm systems</li>

<li class="d-flex align-items-start mb-2">Intruder Alarms</li>

<li class="d-flex align-items-start mb-2">Access Control</li>

<li class="d-flex align-items-start mb-2">Fire Extinguishers</li>

</ul>

You'll primarily work at local customer sites, with occasional travel to our customers nationwide when required.

<li class="d-flex align-items-start mb-2">A professional and reliable approach</li>

</ul>

An ECS card and experience working for an NSI Gold accredited company would be advantageous but aren't essential.

What you'll get

<li class="d-flex align-items-start mb-2">£38,000 salary + company van, mobile phone & Tablet</li>

<li class="d-flex align-items-start mb-2">28 days' holiday, including bank holidays</li>
