Associate Director of Fire Engineering (two positions)

We are working with two forward‑thinking consultancies in London—each creating a brand‑new Fire Consultancy function. Both businesses are investing heavily in their fire engineering capability and are looking for experienced leaders who can define, develop, and deliver a first‑class service from day one.

As an Associate Director of Fire Engineering, you’ll enjoy a level of autonomy rarely offered at this stage of a business’s growth. You’ll have the freedom to shape strategy, refine technical delivery, and build a specialist team that reflects your standards and values. If you are passionate about innovation, collaboration, and technical excellence, these roles give you the platform to make a decisive impact.

This opportunity is ideal for you if you are:

• A senior fire engineer seeking a leadership role with genuine influence
• Energised by the prospect of establishing a new fire division
• Confident managing complex fire engineering projects across the built environment
• Motivated to mentor and develop a growing team
• Ready to be a trusted advisor to clients, design teams, and senior stakeholders

Senior Fire Risk Assessor

We are also recruiting an experienced Senior Fire Risk Assessor to join a respected specialist consultancy operating across London. This role sits at the heart of building safety—providing expert fire risk assessments, offering practical guidance to clients, and ensuring properties remain compliant with the latest legislation and industry best practice.

You’ll work across a varied portfolio, including residential, commercial, and mixed‑use buildings, giving you the opportunity to broaden your experience while contributing to safer environments for occupants. You’ll also play an important mentoring role, supporting junior assessors and contributing to the consultancy’s continuous improvement.

This role is suited to someone who:

• Has strong experience delivering Fire Risk Assessments (Type 1–4)
• Enjoys engaging with clients and providing clear, actionable advice
• Takes pride in delivering high-quality, compliant reports
