The Role: You'll run a portfolio of fire alarm projects across the South region, from small works worth a few thousand pounds up to schemes of £500,000+. You'll manage several projects at once and own each one's budget, costs and client relationship from start to handover.

• Lead client meetings, progress reporting and variations
• Plan and coordinate engineers and subcontractors across the region
• Make sure installations meet BS 5839 and site health and safety requirements
• Work with the design and estimating team on scope, programme and costs

Requirements

• 3+ years' project management experience in fire alarm, fire and security or electrical installation
• A technical background as an engineer (installation, commissioning or service)
• Previous P&L responsibility on projects
• Confident in client meetings, budgeting and cost reporting
• Experience running several projects at once, from a few thousand pounds to £500,000+
• Full UK driving licence and happy to travel across the South region; ideally based around Cambridge, Peterborough or Essex
• Working knowledge of BS 5839; SMSTS or FIA qualifications would be an advantage
