Join Jackson Fire & Security as we are expanding the Swindon team. This is an exciting opportunity with genuine autonomy, a £50k base salary plus commission (OTE £70k–£80k), a profit share scheme, and a fully equipped company van.
At Jackson Fire & Security, we’ve been protecting people and property since 1991. With over 30 years’ experience, NSI Gold accreditation, and BAFE-registered engineers, we’re proud to deliver trusted fire and security solutions across the UK.

As we expand into the South West, we’re offering experienced engineers the chance to shape our future in the region.
The Role:
As a Senior Fire and Security Systems Engineer, you’ll work across a mix of installations, servicing, and customer site takeovers. You may be installing a fire panel one day and surveying a new customer site or producing quotes the next. You’ll manage your own diary, booking work directly with customers and enjoying genuine flexibility.
The role is Monday to Friday, 8am–5pm, with occasional on-call and out-of-hours work. You’ll primarily cover the Swindon (SN) area, with occasional nearby travel for national accounts. You’ll take your company van home and work independently, supported by the Branch Director, wider Jackson network, and Head Office Support Team.

* Carry out site surveys and visits to generate quotes for new and existing customers.
* Install, commission, service, and maintain fire and security systems, including fire alarms, emergency lighting, fire extinguishers, fire doors, intruder alarms, CCTV, and access control.
* Deliver installation projects from first fix through to commissioning, including upgrades and system expansions.
* Complete routine and reactive servicing, fault-finding, and repairs to a high standard.
* Undertake full service takeovers for new customers, including testing, certification, and documentation.
* Manage your own workload and diary, coordinating installations, service visits, and surveys directly with customers.
* Maintain high levels of customer service and professionalism at all times.
* Ensure all works comply with NSI Gold standards, British Standards, and legislative requirements.
* Accurately complete all documentation and reports using company systems.
* Participate in an on-call rota and attend occasional out-of-hours call-outs.
* Represent the Jackson brand and support business growth by identifying additional opportunities.
What We’re Looking For:
* Previous experience in fire and/or security systems engineering (installation, servicing, maintenance).
* Knowledge of fire alarms, intruder alarms, CCTV, access control, or emergency lighting.
* Excellent customer service skills – building trust is paramount.
* Ability to work independently, manage your time, and complete jobs thoroughly.
* Full UK driving licence
* Based in the SN postcode area (Swindon) or nearby.
Why Join us?
* Earning potential: Base salary £50k, with achievable OTE £70k–£80k.
* Profit share scheme: Paid directly to you in November, just in time for Christmas.
* Autonomy & trust: Manage your own diary and customer relationships.
* Career development: Funded training and qualifications in areas such as fire doors, extinguishers, and emergency lighting.
* Fully equipped package: Company van, fuel card, tablet, laptop, uniform, and all tools provided.
