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.

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
