Description
Job Title: Fire Safety Engineer
Salary range: £45,000 to £63,500 per annum
Location: UK wide (The fire team are currently located in our Burton-on-Trent office but being based at any of our offices would be considered with time split between the office, client sites and working from home)
Closing date for this role is 31st May but we would encourage early applications.
The Energy Business Unit is a vibrant and growing area with a focus on delivery of high-quality expertise and services across multiple energy sectors and the development of staff and tools to operate within highly regulated industries.
In particular, the Energy Assurance unit provides significant support to the civil nuclear sector, deploying engineering and safety case skills across decommissioning, fusion, generation and new build.
It is an exciting time across all these sectors. Frazer-Nash Consultancy is looking to bolster this team with talented individuals to continue to develop our service delivery and increase our support to the high hazard industries, such as the nuclear market.
At Frazer-Nash we care, and the work we do makes a difference in the world. Our safety support to nuclear new build projects continues to grow and will contribute to the UK achieving net-zero.
As such, an opportunity exists to join an established safety team with a substantial fire safety- engineering / safety-case capability, which we seek to expand further.
We are searching for self-starting consultants with fire engineering experience in high-risk industries, experience in the nuclear industry would be advantageous.
You will join the existing technical leadership team in fire engineering. Whilst this opportunity is focused on nuclear, there will be opportunities to work in other safety critical or highly regulated sectors (e.g. rail, defence, aerospace) and in new markets relating to clean energy systems and renewables where there are fire safety hazards (e.g. hydrogen, and lithium-ion battery energy storage).
If you are excited about the prospects of working on high profile infrastructure projects in nuclear and in other sectors, please apply.
