As a Fire Engineer, you will work within a multidisciplinary team delivering fire engineering design and analysis across a wide range of projects, including stadiums and other large assembly or high-occupancy buildings, as well as commercial, residential, and mixed-use developments.
You will support the development of fire strategies that align with the architectural intent, functionality, and operational requirements of buildings throughout the design process. The role includes technical delivery, coordination with wider design teams, and exposure to client-facing consultancy under senior guidance.
You will contribute to project delivery through the preparation and review of fire engineering calculations, including smoke control analysis and evacuation modelling, ranging from simple hand calculations to more advanced 3D modelling. Exposure to CFD modelling is advantageous but not essential.
You will assist in the identification and specification of appropriate active and passive fire protection systems to support both prescriptive and performance-based fire engineering solutions. The role also involves attending design team meetings and liaising with architects, engineers, and approving authorities as part of the wider project team.
