Are you an experienced fire damper engineer ready to take the next step in your career? We're working on behalf of a specialist fire protection contractor to recruit a Fire Damper Working Supervisor – a hybrid role combining hands-on expertise with team leadership and client-facing responsibilities.

About the Company

This well-established and fast-growing contractor delivers compliance-led fire protection solutions to a wide range of sectors including healthcare, education, commercial, and residential property. With a strong technical background in both active and passive fire protection, the business has built a reputation for professionalism, high standards, and a commitment to safety.

Their in-house teams provide a full suite of services across the fire safety lifecycle – from initial surveys and testing to remedials, installations, and ongoing maintenance.

You will act as the technical point of contact on-site, coordinate with scheduling teams, and ensure full compliance relevant guidance. A key part of the role involves carrying out remedial works on fire dampers, so demonstrable experience with mechanical repairs and upgrades is essential.

• Work closely with internal operations teams to plan works, report on progress, and resolve site issues proactively.

• Uphold high standards in fire safety and contribute to continual improvement of service delivery.

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience in fire damper inspection and remedial works, ideally in NHS, commercial, or residential environments.

• Previous experience in a working supervisor, lead engineer, or site-based management role.

• Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel nationwide as required.

• Good knowledge of fire safety regulations and best practice guidance (BS 9999, HTM 03-01, etc.).

• Competence in reviewing and understanding floor plans, fire strategy documents, and compliance reports.

• Excellent communication, organisational, and leadership skills.

Desirable Qualifications

• FDIS Fire Damper Awareness or equivalent training.

• PASMA, IPAF, CSCS, and SSSTS (preferred).

• Experience with CAFM software and digital reporting tools.

What’s in It for You?
