About
Senior Designer Engineer - Fire & Life Safety Systems A market-leading engineering services business is seeking a Senior Design Engineer to take ownership of complex, high-risk life safety projects from concept through to delivery. This is not a drafting role. This is a lead-from-the-front design position for someone who understands that great design is not about drawings alone - it's about risk, compliance, constructability, and protecting people in critical environments.
Responsibilities
Lead the full design lifecycle for large-scale fire suppression and life safety systems
Take responsibility for technical authority, design assurance, and regulatory compliance
Translate client requirements into buildable, coordinated, and commercially sound solutions
Interface with project managers, installers, authorities, and end-users with confidence and credibility
Review, challenge and improve specifications, calculations, layouts, and methodologies
Mentor junior designers and raise the technical standard of the whole function
Act as the calm, competent voice when programmes are tight and decisions matter
Qualifications / Experience
Has deep experience in fire protection / life safety / complex building services design
Is comfortable carrying technical accountability, not just producing drawings
Understands British Standards, approvals, third-party certification and design risk
Can think three steps ahead of site, commissioning, and maintenance teams
Is commercially aware - design decisions affect cost, programme and margin
Communicates with authority, not noise
Professional Profile
Is trusted when things are complicated
Is precise, disciplined and unflappable
Doesn't need supervision to do the right thing
Takes pride in getting it right the first time
Wants influence, not just responsibility
Compensation & Apply A highly competitive package is available, reflecting the level of technical ownership and leadership required. All conversations handled in strict confidence. If this sounds like a position of interest, please forward an updated CV asap
