Want to take ownership of fire testing and certification for safety-critical products?
We’re recruiting for a growing technical manufacturer seeking an experienced Engineer—or a capable Technician ready to step up—to coordinate testing, maintain approvals and ensure products remain compliant.
This is a varied, hands-on role spanning fire testing, technical documentation, CAD and liaison with external laboratories and certification bodies.
The role
* Coordinate fire-resistance and smoke-control testing
* Prepare test samples, specifications, drawings and build details
* Liaise with accredited test houses and certification bodies
* Maintain test reports, assessments, certificates and technical data
* Produce and amend 2D and 3D CAD drawings
* Support audits, product sampling and certification reviews
* Assess how design or material changes could affect existing approvals
* Advise internal teams on relevant standards and compliance requirements
What you’ll bring
* Experience in fire testing, certification or technical product compliance
* Knowledge of standards such as BS 476, EN 1634 or relevant UL requirements
* Confidence interpreting technical standards, test evidence and certification scopes
* Experience working with laboratories, certification bodies or approval schemes
* The ability to produce or amend technical CAD drawings
* Strong attention to detail and clear technical writing skills
Experience involving passive fire protection, building products, doors, joinery, factory production control or regulated manufacturing would be particularly relevant.
Why apply?
* Work across testing, CAD, certification and product development
* Take ownership of meaningful, technically challenging projects
* Develop deeper expertise in a specialist and safety-critical field
* Join an established, growing business offering genuine progression
If you understand the importance of getting testing, evidence and certification right—and enjoy bringing order to complex technical projects—we’d like to hear from you
