Location: Surrey & London
Salary: £50,000 – £60,000 DOE + Commission + Benefits
The Opportunity
This is a rare and standout opportunity for a highly experienced Senior Fire Door Inspector to join a growing and ambitious fire door specialist at a pivotal stage of their development.
This is not a standard surveying role. You will play a central part in supporting the business through the BM TRADA Q-Mark scheme whilst carrying out fire door surveys directly, taking on a senior, client-facing position with real influence over the direction and quality of the business. For commercially minded candidates there is also genuine earning potential through a generous commission structure on new business and referrals.
The Role
As Senior Fire Door Inspector, you will take ownership of fire door surveys across high-end residential blocks — typically five to six storeys — carrying out thorough compliance inspections, producing client-ready reports and supporting the business through the BM TRADA Q-Mark accreditation process. The role is split roughly 75% site-based and 25% office-based, flexing toward a 50/50 split depending on reporting and paperwork load.
You will act as the main point of contact for clients, bringing strong people skills and a professional, confident approach to every interaction. Quoting for inspection and survey work is part of the role, with some involvement in new business development for those with commercial ambition.
Key Responsibilities
* Support the business in achieving and progressing BM TRADA Q-Mark scheme status — a central part of this role
* Carry out thorough fire door surveys including compliance checks, gap tolerances, ironmongery, intumescent seals and signage
* Carry out intrusive fire door inspections when required
* Produce clear, accurate and client-ready survey reports to a consistently high standard
* Review and quality assure survey reports produced by the wider team
* Mentor and provide technical guidance to junior inspectors and engineers
* Identify defects and non-compliance issues in line with current fire door regulations and standards
* Act as the primary point of contact for clients — managing relationships, expectations and communications professionally
* Prepare quotations for inspection and survey works — fire door experience in this area essential, broader quoting experience desirable
* Support new business development and referrals where appropriate — commission available
* Liaise with site teams and contract managers throughout project delivery
What We're Looking For
* Extensive, proven experience as a Senior Fire Door Inspector or Surveyor — essential
* Strong, demonstrated experience working with BM TRADA — essential for this role
* Comfortable working on high-end residential properties including occupied blocks of flats
* Experience quoting for fire door inspection or survey works — desirable
* Commercially minded with some exposure to new business or client development — desirable but not essential
* Based in or around Surrey or London — essential given the location of projects
* FDIS or equivalent fire door inspection qualification — required
* BM TRADA Q-Mark awareness or accreditation — strongly preferred
* Full UK Driving Licence — required
What's On Offer
* £50,000 – £60,000 per annum depending on experience
* Bonuses
* 26 days holiday
* Expenses covered directly — no reimbursement process
* Genuine opportunity to shape the quality and accreditation standards of the business
