This role is mainly focused on the servicing, maintenance, installation and remedial works of portable fire extinguishers and associated fire safety equipment. Experience with fire alarm systems, emergency lighting or security systems would be an advantage, but it is not essential.

Completing service reports, certificates and job sheets accurately
Advising clients in a professional and helpful way
Working safely and following company procedures
Managing your own workload and daily schedule
Taking part in the on-call rota when required
Fire alarm, emergency lighting or security system experience would be useful, and there may be opportunities to develop in these areas for the right person.

Good customer service skills

The ability to work independently and manage your own time

Overtime paid at 1.5x, including travel time
