As a Fire Engineer you would be expected:

• To understand and implement the principle of fire science on real projects via the engineering process (goals, objectives, building appraisal and hazards, design fire scenarios etc).
• To understand the Total Fire Safety concept: from client brief, through design and construction; taking account of the socio-technical context, seeking to pre-empt fire safety issues common at different stages of a project, so that the end result delivers on the client brief.
• To investigate and apply appropriate legislation and design guidance for use on your projects.
• To develop and implement fire strategies in collaboration with the design team and relevant stakeholders. You’ll either be working towards Chartered Engineer status or have a real motivation to achieve this. If it’s the latter, we will support you with what you need to succeed here
