  • Undertaking conventional fire assessments / fire risk assessments to support compliance with fire safety legislation and/or the development of fire safety strategies, and to support ALARP demonstrations where non-compliances exist
  • Undertaking fire modelling with the use of empirical hand calculations and software packages such as CFAST and/or Computational Fluid Dynamics in support of fire safety strategies

Requirements

  • STEM degree qualified (Desirable not essential)
  • Membership with a recognised institution (Institution of fire engineers – Desirable not essential)
  • Fire safety engineering experience, ideally covering most of the key responsibilities listed above
