QSD Fire Systems

Location: North Wales
Job Type: Full-time, Permanent
Salary: £38,000 – £45,000 per year, dependent on experience

About QSD Fire Systems

QSD Fire Systems is an established and growing fire protection company operating throughout North Wales, the North West and surrounding areas.

We specialise in the design, installation and maintenance of residential and domestic fire sprinkler and water mist systems, alongside a growing range of fire protection services.

As the business continues to grow, we are looking for a technically minded Fire Suppression Design Engineer to take ownership of our sprinkler and water mist design work.

We are particularly interested in candidates with experience in mechanical design, building services, HVAC, plumbing or M&E design who are confident reading construction drawings and have excellent attention to detail.

The Role

This isn't simply a CAD position.

You will be responsible for understanding the technical requirements of each project and ensuring that the systems we design are appropriate, compliant and practical to install.

Your responsibilities will include:

Producing fire sprinkler and water mist designs using AutoCAD 2D
Reviewing architectural, M&E and fire strategy drawings
Establishing the correct design criteria for each project
Selecting appropriate sprinkler heads and equipment
Ensuring correct sprinkler positioning, coverage and spacing
Producing hydraulic calculations using specialist software
Reviewing available water supplies and determining system requirements
Assisting with pump, tank and equipment selection
Producing technical drawings and information for installation teams
Checking designs before they are issued for construction
Liaising with clients, consultants, contractors and our installation teams
Maintaining accurate design records and project documentation
Ensuring designs comply with relevant British Standards and project specifications

What We're Looking For

The most important qualities for this position are technical ability, accuracy and attention to detail.

We are looking for someone who doesn't simply follow a process, but who questions information, identifies potential problems and checks that their work is technically correct before issuing it.

The ideal candidate will have:

Experience using AutoCAD 2D
Experience within mechanical, building services, M&E, HVAC, plumbing or fire protection design
The ability to confidently read and interpret construction drawings
A good understanding of mechanical systems and pipework
Strong numerical and problem-solving skills
Excellent attention to detail
The ability to manage several projects simultaneously
Confidence communicating with clients, contractors and engineers
A methodical approach to checking their own work

Experience designing fire sprinkler or water mist systems would be a significant advantage, but we are prepared to provide specialist training to the right mechanical design engineer.

Training Provided

You do not need previous experience using our hydraulic calculation software.

QSD uses Canute for hydraulic calculations, which is straightforward to learn for someone with the right technical background.

Full training will be provided covering:

Fire sprinkler and water mist design principles
Relevant British Standards
System categories and design criteria
Sprinkler selection and positioning
Hydraulic calculations
Water supply requirements
Pumps, tanks, valves and associated equipment
QSD design standards and procedures
Canute hydraulic calculation software

We are more interested in finding someone with the right technical mindset than someone who already knows every aspect of sprinkler design.

Career Development

This is an important position within QSD and offers the opportunity to take increasing responsibility for the company's fire suppression design function.

For the right person, the role can develop into a senior position responsible for:

Technical oversight of suppression designs
Design checking and approval
Developing QSD's standard design procedures
Supporting and mentoring junior designers
Working with the management team on technically challenging projects
Helping develop the company's wider technical capabilities

Why Join QSD?

QSD is continuing to invest in its technical and service capabilities, creating opportunities for people who want to develop their careers as the company grows.

You'll be joining a practical, experienced team where your designs don't simply remain on a drawing — you'll be able to work closely with the engineers who install and commission the systems you design.

Salary: £38,000 – £45,000 per year, dependent on experience

Job Type: Full-time, Permanent

If you're an experienced mechanical or building-services designer looking for an opportunity to specialise in fire protection, or an existing fire suppression designer looking for greater responsibility, we'd like to hear from you.

Pay: £38,000.00-£45,000.00 per year

Work Location: In person
