The patch runs from Reading down through Surrey and out into Sussex and Kent. Different buildings, different clients, different kit on nearly every one. If you've been servicing the same handful of sites for a couple of years and you can predict the week before it starts, that's the difference here. The day-to-day Service and maintenance across fire alarms, CCTV, intruder alarms and access control. Fault finding on a wide range of systems. That's the part they care most about. Commissioning where it comes up. Service documentation done properly, and a share of the on-call rota. You'd be managing your own diary and your own customers across the patch. It's a job that suits someone who'd rather be trusted than checked on. Why this one's worth a look The training is manufacturer-led, not a slideshow. If there's a system you've only half worked with, that's fixable here. The team is growing, so there's a route beyond engineer for anyone who wants it. That's a real one rather than a line in an advert. And the earnings are yours to move. Past 50,000 is normal for people who take the work on. The package 38,000 to 43,000 basic, depending on experience OTE 50,000+ Overtime available Standby payments Company van Laptop, phone and tablet Pension, 25 days' holiday plus bank holidays What you'll need Hands-on experience across fire and security systems Strong fault-finding ability Good working knowledge of the relevant British Standards Full UK driving licence Next step Send over whatever CV you've got, even if it's out of date. Easier to have the conversation first and tidy the paperwork later.
