Job description

Fire & Security Service & Installation Engineer
Peterborough | Full-Time | Competitive Salary + Overtime + Van

The Role
If you’re the kind of engineer who can hear a panel beep from 20 metres away and knows exactly which zone it’s in — this one’s for you.

We’re looking for a Fire & Security Service & Installation Engineer who takes pride in doing the job properly. Someone who’s just as happy fault-finding as they are upgrading systems, chatting with clients, and keeping the paperwork neat enough to make an auditor smile.

It’s varied, hands-on, and best suited to someone who enjoys being trusted to get on with it — because here, you will be.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Servicing, maintaining, and fault-finding fire alarm and security systems across different client sites.

  • Carrying out remedials, upgrades, and small installations — keeping systems compliant and reliable.

  • Handling small works jobs from start to finish with a tidy, professional approach.

  • Maintaining accurate service records and certificates (you’ll thank yourself later).

  • Working closely with the service team to keep things running smoothly.

  • Providing technical support and great communication to clients — no jargon, just results.

What You’ll Need

  • Around 4 years’ experience in fire and security servicing or maintenance.

  • Strong technical know-how across leading systems.

  • Great problem-solving skills and proper attention to detail.

  • A strong work ethic — the kind where you actually care about getting it right.

  • A positive, adaptable approach and solid communication skills.

  • Full driving licence and the willingness to get out on-site when needed.

What You Might Not Like

  • It’s field-based — you’ll be on the road, not sitting in an office.

  • There’ll be days where things go wrong (alarms love picking Fridays).

  • Paperwork matters — compliance is non-negotiable.

Why It’s Worth It
A solid team behind you, proper support, a van you’ll actually want to drive, and a company that backs its engineers. You’ll have room to grow, learn, and build a career — not just tick off callouts.

If that sounds like your kind of gig, get in touch. Let’s see if you’re the one we’ve been waiting for.
