Director Fire Engineering

About the Role

We're looking for an experienced Director to join a fast-growing consultancy at an exciting point in its development. This is a senior leadership role where technical excellence and commercial acumen go hand in hand — you'll work closely with the Managing Director and play a central part in driving business growth, building the team, and delivering outstanding results for clients.

This is not a P&L ownership role, but you'll be deeply involved in commercial performance — improving project margins, driving revenue, and helping shape the strategic direction of the fire engineering function.

What You'll Be Doing

\n
• Leading and developing a team of 7 direct reports, with a clear mandate to grow headcount
\n
• Partnering closely with the MD on business development and commercial strategy
\n
• Owning technical sign-off, delivery and quality across fire engineering projects
\n
• Identifying and converting new opportunities, while improving profitability on existing work
\n
• Championing innovation across the team and wider business
\n
• Contributing to a culture of growth in a business that is scaling rapidly
\n

What We're Looking For

\n
• Strong fire engineering background with demonstrable technical expertise
\n
• Full Chartered Status
\n
• Master's degree in Fire Engineering (preferred, but not essential)
\n
• Commercially minded — you understand how to win work and protect margins
\n
• Experience at a senior level, or a driven individual ready to take that next step
\n
• Someone who knows this market well and brings a relevant network
\n
• A natural leader who can inspire, develop and retain talent
