The Opportunity
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Compartmentation Surveyor to join a well-established and growing contractor delivering passive fire protection works across the Midlands and nationwide. The business operates across a strong pipeline of secured projects, with the majority of works based in the Midlands and the flexibility to travel nationally as contracts demand.
The right person matters as much as the right CV here. The business is looking for someone who takes pride in doing things properly — whether that's a highly experienced surveyor with the qualifications to match, or a technically strong trade professional who knows fire stopping inside and out and is ready to step into a surveying role. Qualifications can be sponsored for the right candidate.
The Role
As Compartmentation Surveyor, you will carry out fire stopping and fire door surveys across a variety of environments, with fire stopping forming the primary focus of the role. You will identify defects and non-compliance issues, produce accurate and client-ready survey reports, and work closely with project teams to ensure passive fire compliance is maintained to the highest standard across all sites.
This is a mobile role requiring someone who is comfortable travelling nationwide and staying away from home when contracts demand it.

* Produce clear, accurate and client-ready survey reports using digital reporting systems

* Work independently across multiple sites, managing your own workload efficiently
* Travel across the Midlands and nationally as required, with stay away when needed
