Checkmate Fire Solutions is a leading UK provider of passive fire protection and compliance services, supporting clients across the built environment with safety, integrity, and technical expertise. With a strong reputation for quality, reliability, and regulatory excellence, the company partners with organisations to deliver robust fire safety solutions that protect lives and assets.

Due to continued growth and the successful award of new contracts, we are looking for a Programme Coordinator to join our expanding team.

This is an exciting opportunity for a highly organised and proactive individual to play a key role in supporting the mobilisation and delivery of projects across the UK. Working closely with operational teams, clients, and stakeholders, you'll help ensure projects are delivered efficiently, compliantly, and to the highest standards.

What You’ll Be Doing

* Coordinating programmes and supporting the delivery of projects across the Education & Property Team.

* Managing and processing a high-volume of security clearance checks, including BPSS and Security Clearance (SC) applications.

* Liaising with internal teams, clients, and third parties to ensure all compliance requirements are met.

* Maintaining accurate records and ensuring documentation is completed in line with company procedures.

* Providing administrative and operational support to ensure programmes run efficiently.

What We’re Looking For

The successful candidate will:

* Have excellent organisational and administrative skills.

* Be able to manage multiple tasks and work to tight deadlines.

* Have strong attention to detail, particularly when handling sensitive documentation and clearance applications.

* Be confident communicating with colleagues, clients, and external stakeholders.

* Be proficient in Microsoft Office and other administrative systems.

* Previous experience managing security vetting processes, including BPSS and SC clearance applications is desirable.

Working Hours

The role will initially be based on standard office hours. As the programme develops, it is anticipated that the position will transition to a twilight shift (2:00pm–10:00pm). Due to the nature of the role, there will also be a requirement for occasional weekend working to support operational and client requirements. Flexibility to accommodate these working patterns is essential.

Why Join Us

* A competitive remuneration package tailored to your role

* 25 Days Holidays + Bank Holidays + Christmas Shutdown

* Birthday off (after successful 6-month probationary period)

* Access to continuous learning opportunities through our Award-winning Training Academy

* Recognition programs to celebrate contributions and milestones

* Flexible approaches to work-life balance where possible

* Social & Fun Perks

If this sounds like a good fit, please apply today—we will be reviewing applications as they come in and may close the role early once we find the right person.
