Assist in preparing detailed build budgets before commencing works, including forecasting for materials, plant, labour, and subcontractor costs.

Supervise subcontract labour and supply-and-fix subcontractors when applicable.

Ensure all small works are completed safely, professionally, and in line with current H&S and regulatory standards.
*
Report progress and site information to the Service Manager or Directors in a clear and timely manner, including site photos, signed worksheets, and related documents.
*
Maintain detailed records to manage and track ongoing costs vs. budget.
*
Assist with preparing applications and invoice requests for service and small works.
*
Support estimation or sales activities when required.
*
Work closely with sales, design, and technical teams to ensure continuity across project stages.
*
Build strong client and professional relationships, promoting a friendly and professional company image.
*
Represent the company positively and uphold its reputation as a first-class contractor in the fire protection industry.
*
Support site management and contribute actively as part of the wider engineering team.
*
Monitor competitor activities and stay aware of industry developments.
Requirements:
*
Proven experience working with fire alarm systems, including servicing, installation, and commissioning.
*
Experience managing or supporting small works projects in a fire protection or building services environment.
*
Strong understanding of relevant fire alarm standards (e.g., BS 5839) and H&S regulations.
*
High level of computer literacy, particularly with Microsoft Excel and Word.
*
Excellent communication and organisational skills.
*
Proactive and professional with a strong customer-facing presence.
*
Ability to work independently as well as part of a team.
