Job Description
Fire engineering is one of the most important investments and critical considerations that can be made on almost any engineering project. Standard fire safety design guides can be overly restrictive, or simply not fit for purpose, on the design of buildings and transportation infrastructure, especially for innovative or bespoke design projects.
Our specialist fire safety engineering team offers an alternative and dynamic approach to fire engineering design, ensuring that structures in the built environment, transportation infrastructure, and their occupants are as safe from the effects of fire as can be reasonably expected. A full fire safety package will be demonstrated using either a dynamic or prescriptive approach, or both depending on the specific project. We incorporate the most appropriate methods of fire protection from a host of engineering techniques which help to minimize the impact of fire on built environment and transport projects, providing cost efficiencies and environmental benefits where appropriate and ultimately improving the overall resilience and safety of buildings and infrastructure around the world.
The nature of fire-engineering requires the development of strong technical, interpersonal and negotiating skills to deliver the best design to your clients.
You will help the team develop ‘fire strategies’: documents outlining the life safety systems, firefighting provisions, and any technically derived fire-engineered solutions required to meet the overarching design goals. This involves regular contact with the client and design team, any associated site visits, and office-based report writing including technical analyses.
Our award-winning reputation means our clients expect and demand the very best in fire safety advice. We provide fire engineering consultancy services for prestigious buildings and transport projects worldwide, across a range of sectors, from healthcare premises to sporting facilities, military and high value/sensitive installations to surface and sub-surface rail stations.
