In our Custodial Department, we’re on the front line of creating safer environments – working on high-security projects so confidential we can’t even tell you the details (yes, it’s that secret). From concept through to completion, you’ll be hands-on with Protec’s own cutting-edge technology and trusted third-party systems, building integrated life safety solutions that truly make a difference. Your expertise in British Standards will be the backbone of our Special Projects Bid Team, as you help craft spot-on tech submissions, persuasive quotation, and sealed tenders for some of the UK’s most high-profile projects – think Government buildings, HMP sites, MoD, and MoJ. This is your chance to combine technical know-how with problem-solving flair – and play a key role in safeguarding people where it matters most.
