Joining Arup
Arup’s purpose, shared values and collaborative approach has set us apart for over 75 years, guiding how we shape a better world.
The Opportunity
We are currently seeking a Senior Fire Engineer to join our UK team. This role is vital to help deliver our growing portfolio of exciting projects and to assist in the development of our diverse, innovative, multi-cultural and self-motivated team of fire safety consultants.
The successful candidate will complement our fire safety team and help deliver fire safety engineering services for our clients. You will be part of a 400+ strong fire safety skills network across 20 offices around the World.
The successful candidate will manage the fire safety input to a range of different projects, oversee and mentor junior engineers, with support by the project director and the wider team. The role will involve interactive and collaborative working with fire safety colleagues and multidisciplinary teams at Arup.
Our projects are diverse and range from conceptual fire strategy development through to handing over landmark projects; we undertake fire safety research to develop evidence-based solutions for novel fire safety hazards and strive to find ways to improve safety equity for the most vulnerable.
You will have the opportunity to do socially useful work that has meaning – to Arup, to your career, to our members and to the clients and communities we serve.
Is this role right for you?
We strive for excellence and invest in the development of our people. You will have access to a wide range of training and development opportunities, including CPD events. Once you have demonstrated a suitable skill in fire safety engineering and delivery of projects there will be opportunities to advance your career.
We are looking for someone who is technically well versed in fire safety legislation and guidance, and first principles design approaches, who can deliver evidence-based fire safety solutions on time and on budget. A history of gaining consent for prescriptive and performance-based design solutions from approving authorities is also important.
As a senior member of the fire safety practice, you will have strong meeting and negotiating skills and a background of managing project teams and finances. You will be a team player, generously sharing your knowledge and experience with others, and open to feedback and curious to learn and grow yourself.
You will have a Bachelor’s degree in a relevant degree subject (fire engineering, other types of engineering, or architecture related degree) and will be preferably a Chartered Engineer with a relevant institution such as the Institution of Fire Engineers or be close to gaining Chartered Engineer status.
Key experience may include:
* Experience in a fire engineering consultancy or similar environment.
* Extensive background in delivering evidence-based fire safety solutions for UK based projects, in a range of different sectors.
* Knowledge of applicable legislation and guidance used in the UK, and awareness of the new regulatory regime.
* Experienced in leading client and stakeholder meetings, and able to explain technically complicated fire safety matters to lay persons to enable informed decision making.
* Familiar with RIBA Plan of Work or other design frameworks (e.g. GRIP).
