Associate Director & Lead Fire Engineer – Fire Engineering / Building Safety Compliance – London (5596)

Vacancy No 5596

Vacancy Title Associate Director & Lead Fire Engineer

Location

Central London, with occasional travel across the South of England

Fire Engineering — Building Safety & Compliance · Progression to Director and above

Salary: Competitive, DOE + professional body membership + training + bonus scheme

Reports to: Building Consultancy Director (Fire Safety & Compliance Lead)

Contract: Full-time, permanent

Department: Building Safety & Compliance (within Building Consultancy)

Why This Role

This is a green-field build, not a maintenance job. A well-established, multi-disciplinary property consultancy is launching a brand-new fire engineering service from scratch — and looking for the person to lead it from day one, with a clear route to Director and beyond.

If you’re a Chartered Fire Engineer who’s ready to stop building someone else’s department and start building your own — with an established brand, in-house QS, PM and Development Monitoring teams behind you, and one of the industry’s most competitive billings-linked bonus schemes — this is a rare seat.

Bring your own portfolio and relationships, shape the service your way, and build a team in your own image.

About the Firm

Our client is a well-established, multi-disciplinary property consultancy of Chartered Surveyors, Project Managers and Cost Consultants, based in Central London. Established for over 25 years, the firm has built a strong reputation as a customer-focused practice delivering professional, comprehensive and forward-thinking services across the UK, with the majority of its work concentrated in Greater London.

Its Chartered Building Surveyors are RICS-qualified and its Project Managers are members of the Association for Project Management (APM). Directors are directly and personally involved in every project, giving new joiners genuine exposure to senior expertise from day one. The firm has continued to grow year on year, building out an in-house QS team, a dedicated Development Monitoring department, and a newly launched Building Safety and Compliance team — all within a close-knit culture known for strong staff retention.

The Opportunity

This role sits within the firm’s Building Safety and Compliance team, part of its wider Building Consultancy practice, which delivers the full suite of building surveying services with a strong lean towards project management and contract administration. Following the successful launch of the Building Safety and Compliance team, the firm is now expanding into fire engineering to complement its existing offering — and this role will set up that service stream from the ground up.

Work is predominantly based in Greater London, with occasional projects and travel across the South of England as the business requires. Fire engineering services are also expected to move the firm towards the long-term management and maintenance of buildings — an area not previously served alongside new-build construction work.

Building a Service from Scratch

You’ll lead the setup of a brand-new fire engineering service stream, including the full processes, procedures and QA framework behind it — backed by in-house administration, finance, IT and marketing support. Prove the concept, and you’ll be positioned to lead the department’s expansion within the wider Building Safety & Compliance team. The service offering will include:

FRAEW & PAS9980 risk assessments
Due diligence technical assessments & expert witness work
Building assessments, including Fire Risk Assessments under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, fire door assessments, and compartmentation assessments
Fire Safety Management Plans, including evacuation procedures
Fire strategy development, including design advice through RIBA Stages 1–6
Complex fire engineering techniques, including fire and smoke modelling (CFD), evacuation modelling and structural fire engineering analysis
Retrospective fire strategy development
HRB application fire engineering advice and ‘Part B’ compliance assessments, covering both HRB and non-HRB buildings
Fire Statements (Planning Gateway One, London Plan Policy D12A and D12B)
In-house and external training delivery

Key Responsibilities

You’ll report directly to your team lead/director, supporting delivery of goals for both the team and the wider department. Much of your work will be self-directed — from instruction through to billing — and you’ll be expected to competently manage every stage of an instruction.

You’ll work on larger projects alongside senior management, with work sourced through the senior team, your own leadership and existing client relationships — as well as work you generate yourself. A demonstrable track record in business development and client relationship management is expected.

What We’re Looking For

General

Driven, self-starting candidates who want to progress within the business and demonstrate growth against high, aspirational KPI targets. The role demands strong technical and legal knowledge alongside genuine technical aptitude. You should be able to demonstrate the skills needed to build a dedicated service stream — people management, business generation, marketing and promotion, quality management and delivery of technical expertise — with the ambition to help establish the firm as a market leader in Building Safety and Compliance.

Strong sales instincts paired with excellent communication are essential: the team plays an active role in educating clients and the wider industry on the evolving regulatory regime, and this role will extend that into fire engineering. Candidates should be able to bring existing work and relationships with them, rather than relying solely on the firm’s client base.

Experience Required

Open to experienced, fully Chartered Fire Engineers (IFE). Candidates should have at least 10 years’ experience and be able to demonstrate a strong portfolio of previous work.

Application Process

Applications should consist of a CV and covering letter. Recruitment is based on up to three stages: an initial 45-minute exploratory call (Microsoft Teams), a 60-minute in-person interview, and — where relevant — a third stage to discuss your business plan for the new service stream.

Rewards & Progression

Training: ongoing support to maintain competence and professional body registration, and to build new skills.
Flexible working: after probation (typically 3 months), up to 2 days per week from home, with the remainder based in the office or on-site.
Benefits package: includes season ticket loans, group health insurance (Chartered Surveyor level and above), volunteering days and more, available on request.
Business generation rewards: an additional reward scheme linked to new client business generation, available to staff at all levels.
Career progression: a clear promotion pathway — previous graduates have progressed through the business to board level, and progression is open to all.
Bonus scheme: one of the industry’s most competitive, billing-linked bonus schemes, letting you earn based on your own performance.

Business Development Manager – Project & Building Consultancy – London (5595)

Vacancy No 5595

Vacancy Title Business Development Manager

Location London, with West Midlands and wider regional remit

Project & Building Consultancy

Salary: Good base + uncapped, revenue-linked commission
Reports to: Managing Director
Contract: Permanent, full-time

The Opportunity

Build the business. Own the relationships. Drive the revenue.

This is a rare opportunity to become the first dedicated Business Development Manager within an established, highly regarded property consultancy with an impressive blue-chip client base.

This is not an account-management role. It is a genuine new-business hunting position for someone with a strong property network, commercial instinct and the ambition to build something significant.

You’ll have the freedom to leverage your existing black book from day one, while developing new relationships, opening new markets and creating a sustainable pipeline across London, the West Midlands and wider regional markets.

With uncapped, revenue-linked commission, your success will be directly reflected in your earning potential.

About the Business

Our client is an established firm of Chartered Surveyors, Project Managers, Cost Consultants and Development Monitors, advising investors, developers, funds, occupiers, banks, landed estates and property managers across the UK.

The business has built a strong reputation and blue-chip client base across commercial, residential, hotel, industrial & logistics and retail markets.

Following sustained growth, the firm is now investing in a dedicated new-business function for the first time.

This is your opportunity to build the commercial engine rather than inherit one.

The Role

As the first Business Development Manager, you will take ownership of new-business origination across:

Building Consultancy
Project Management
Cost Consultancy / QS
Development Monitoring

Your focus will be simple: identify opportunities, build senior relationships, secure meetings, win instructions and grow revenue.

You’ll combine your existing network with targeted prospecting, market intelligence, LinkedIn, CoStar, events and referrals to create a high-quality pipeline.

There is also significant opportunity to cross-sell additional services into existing relationships, maximising the value of every client connection and instruction.

What You’ll Do

Leverage and develop your existing network of property and built-environment contacts.
Identify and win new clients across investors, developers, funds, occupiers, landed estates, property companies and agents.
Build trusted relationships with senior decision-makers including Development Directors, Asset Managers, Fund Managers, Estates Directors and Heads of Property.
Generate and qualify new opportunities through networking, referrals, events and targeted outbound activity.
Use CoStar, LinkedIn Sales Navigator and CRM data to identify and prioritise high-value prospects.
Secure and lead first meetings, pitches and tenders alongside the firm’s technical Directors.
Identify cross-selling opportunities across the firm’s service lines.
Develop referral relationships with agents, contractors, architects, lawyers and other professional advisers.
Help identify and open new regions and growth sectors, including private healthcare and selected public-sector, heritage and cultural opportunities.
Own your pipeline, forecast accurately and report directly to the Managing Director on commercial performance.

Your Market

The role has a strong focus on London and the West Midlands, with scope to develop opportunities nationally and open new markets.

Key sectors include:

Commercial offices
High-value private residential
Hotels
Industrial & logistics
Multi-unit residential
Retail
Student accommodation
Private healthcare
Selected public-sector, heritage and cultural opportunities

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for a proven hunter, not a traditional account manager.

You’ll ideally bring:

A strong, demonstrable black book of relevant property or professional-services relationships.
A track record of winning new business and generating fee income.
Experience selling property, construction, surveying or other professional services.
Established relationships with senior property and real estate decision-makers.
The confidence and credibility to operate at Director and Head-of level.
A consultative, relationship-led approach to business development.
Commercial drive, resilience and the ability to turn relationships into revenue.
Strong organisation and pipeline management skills.
The confidence to combine personal networking with data-led prospecting.
The ambition to open doors the business has not previously been able to open.

Why This Role?

First hire. Established platform. Uncapped earnings. Real autonomy.

You’ll have an established brand, strong technical expertise, blue-chip clients, marketing and data support behind you — but the freedom to decide where the next growth comes from.

If you have the network, the ambition and the commercial ability to make things happen, this is an opportunity to make the role your own and have a genuine impact on the future growth of the business.

Specifications Manager – Security & Entrance Solutions – National UK (5593)

Vacancy Number 5593

Vacancy Title SPECIFICATION MANAGER

Location LONDON | SOUTH EAST | UK WIDE PROJECTS

PLEASE NOTE: The ideal candidate will be based within London or the South East. The role will have a strong London specification focus, developing influential relationships and helping shape projects that may ultimately be delivered across the UK and internationally.

Location can remain flexible for an exceptional candidate with the right specification network, technical capability and sector experience.

Job Description

Are you an accomplished specification sales professional with the credibility, technical understanding and commercial awareness to influence some of the UK’s most demanding security, infrastructure and built environment projects?

This is a strategically important Specification Manager opportunity with one of the UK’s most established specialists in high security entrance and access control solutions.

The business designs and delivers technically advanced entrance solutions including security doors, revolving doors, turnstiles, speed gates and intelligent access control systems across commercial buildings, data centres, critical national infrastructure, government environments, corporate headquarters and other highly secure locations.

The Specification Manager will be responsible for developing and strengthening relationships with architects, security consultants, specifiers, end users and other influential project stakeholders, positioning the business and its solutions at the earliest possible stage of the project lifecycle.

This is an influence led specification role, not a transactional product sales position.

The successful individual will act as a trusted specification partner, understanding project requirements, helping shape technically appropriate solutions, influencing specifications and maintaining engagement as opportunities progress from initial concept through design, tender, procurement and ultimately commercial delivery.

Why This Role Stands Out:

Represent an established and highly regarded specialist with more than 100 years of experience within high security entrance and access control solutions.
Take ownership of strategically important relationships across the architectural, specification and consultancy community.
Influence technically complex projects from the earliest design and specification stages.
Work across major commercial, infrastructure, data centre, government, critical national infrastructure and specialist security environments.
Develop specifications and relationships that can influence projects delivered across London, the UK and internationally.
Work closely with commercial, technical, design and project teams to turn early stage specification activity into deliverable and commercially valuable project opportunities.

Key Responsibilities:

Develop and maintain influential relationships with architects, security consultants, specifiers, end users and other key project stakeholders.
Promote the company’s complete portfolio of high security entrance and access control products, systems and service solutions.
Identify projects at the earliest possible stage and establish where the business can add technical and commercial value.
Understand design intent, security requirements, operational considerations and wider project constraints before recommending appropriate solutions.
Influence and secure product specifications by providing credible technical guidance and commercially appropriate solutions.
Deliver professional presentations, technical meetings, product demonstrations and specification discussions.
Develop new relationships while strengthening established specification relationships and strategic partnerships.
Track projects systematically from initial specification and design engagement through tender, procurement, order and delivery, maintaining visibility and protecting the specification wherever commercially possible.
Work closely with sales, estimating, technical, design and project delivery teams to ensure proposed solutions are technically achievable, commercially viable and properly supported.
Support pricing, proposal and tender activity where required, maintaining continuity between specification influence and commercial conversion.
Maintain accurate CRM records, project tracking, specification pipeline visibility and forecasting.
Monitor competitor activity, changing specification requirements, product developments and wider market opportunities.
Represent the company professionally across architectural practices, consultant meetings, industry events and other relevant market facing activity.

What we’re looking for:

An accomplished specification sales professional with a demonstrable track record of influencing architects, consultants, specifiers and other professional project stakeholders.
Ideally 3 to 5+ years of experience within a specification led technical construction, security, M&E, architectural products or aligned built environment sector.
Experience within security products, entrance systems, access control, automatic doors, aluminium systems, building envelope products, architectural products, lifts, escalators, M&E, construction products or another technically aligned sector would be highly relevant.
Direct security or entrance systems experience would be highly advantageous, although strong specification experience from an aligned technical product sector may be equally valuable.
Strong understanding of specification led project sales and the different stakeholders involved from concept and design through tender, procurement and delivery.
Experience identifying project requirements and developing technically appropriate product or system solutions.
Strong commercial awareness with an understanding of how specification activity ultimately converts into profitable project revenue.
Confidence presenting to architects, consultants, end users and senior project decision makers.
Strong relationship development and new business capability, with the confidence to create new opportunities rather than rely solely on established relationships.
The ability to understand technical information, drawings, specifications and project documentation and translate requirements into practical solutions.
CAD drawing knowledge would be advantageous but is not essential.
Knowledge of commercial buildings, infrastructure, data centres, government, critical national infrastructure or specialist security environments would be advantageous.
A stable and successful career history within relevant specification, project or technical sales environments.

Attributes & Mindset

Professional, credible and technically curious.
Commercially aware without being transactionally sales led.
Confident communicating with influential senior stakeholders and capable of representing the business professionally.
Able to listen, understand complex requirements and translate them into practical solutions.
Proactive, structured and disciplined in identifying and managing long cycle specification opportunities.
Comfortable operating autonomously while collaborating closely with internal commercial and technical teams.
Persistent and resilient, with the ability to maintain influence and protect specifications throughout extended project cycles.
Motivated by technical influence, relationship development, project progression and turning specification activity into measurable commercial outcomes.

This is an opportunity to take ownership of a strategically important specification function for an established specialist business operating within technically demanding and security-sensitive environments.

For the right person, the position offers the opportunity to build influential relationships across the architectural and consultancy community, become involved in significant projects from their earliest stages and play a direct role in strengthening the company’s specification pipeline across London, the UK and wider international opportunities.

SALARY & BENEFITS

Salary: Up to £70,000 with flexibility for exceptional experience.
Bonus: Up to 15% Bonus Scheme
Car: EV company car or car allowance
Benefits: 5% pension, life cover at 3x salary, 25 days holiday, mobile, laptop, Perkbox, retail discounts and cycle to work scheme
Career: Genuine opportunity to develop and make a measurable impact within an established specialist business

The role will focus primarily on workplace projects, supported by opportunities across hospitality, marine, education and other premium commercial interiors sectors.

Architects, interior designers, workplace consultants and corporate end users will form the primary route to market. Design and Build firms and fit out businesses will provide important secondary project influence, with dealers, resellers and other commercial stakeholders supporting the wider procurement process.

This is not a passive account management position. It is a proactive specification sales role centred on market visibility, relationship development, project identification, specification influence and long-term commercial growth.

The Role

The Commercial Sales Manager will be responsible for increasing the company’s presence and commercial performance across the UK and Ireland Contract market.

You will develop existing relationships and assigned accounts while proactively identifying new projects, strategic accounts and commercial opportunities, with a particular focus on London’s workplace Architecture and Design community and corporate end users.

Working closely with Architecture and Design practices, workplace consultants, corporate occupiers and project decision makers, you will understand project requirements, advise on appropriate solutions and position the business at the relevant stage of the specification and procurement cycle.

You will be expected to create meaningful market activity through studio visits, showroom presentations, design consultations, product training, project meetings, industry networking and targeted business development.

You will manage your own commercial activity, assigned accounts, project pipeline and market development strategy, supported by established UK and international teams across sales support, technical design, operations, logistics, marketing, finance and aftersales.

SECTOR FOCUS

Workplace will represent the clear priority sector, followed by hospitality and marine.

Relevant education, leisure and wider premium commercial interior projects may also form part of the opportunity where commercially appropriate.

ROUTES TO MARKET

The primary routes to market will include:

Architects
Interior designers
Workplace consultants
Corporate end users and occupiers

Secondary project influence and engagement will include:

Design and Build firms
Fit out contractors
Project managers and consultants
Other relevant commercial project stakeholders

Dealers and resellers may also form part of the wider project route, although they will not represent the primary focus of the position.

Responsibilities

Raise and strengthen the company’s profile across London’s workplace Architecture and Design, corporate end user and wider commercial interiors community, developing existing relationships while identifying new strategic accounts and opportunities
Build long term relationships with architects, interior designers, workplace consultants, corporate occupiers, Design and Build firms, fit out businesses and other relevant project decision makers
Identify and qualify furniture, furnishing and modular interior projects at the earliest possible stage, maintaining commercial ownership from initial engagement through specification, quotation, order and delivery
Understand client requirements and provide informed product, design and technical guidance, positioning the business as a trusted premium design partner
Manage client meetings, showroom presentations, product training and design consultations, together with related product information, sample, quotation and technical requests
Develop and maintain a healthy project pipeline, using CRM data, account insight, forecasting and market intelligence to shape business development activity and commercial strategy
Protect and support specifications as projects progress through Design and Build, fit out, contractor, dealer and wider procurement routes
Represent the business at relevant UK and international events, support client visits to company facilities and collaborate closely with UK and international teams to ensure effective project delivery and customer service

Knowledge, Skills and Experience Required

Candidates should be based within a reasonable commute of Central London and comfortable operating in a field-based role, supported by access to an excellent showroom environment for meetings, presentations and client engagement.

The successful individual will already have meaningful specification led commercial sales experience and the credibility to engage with established architects, interior designers, workplace consultants, corporate end users and senior project stakeholders.

Essential experience and attributes include:

A strong track record in proactive specification led business development within premium, design led commercial interiors
Experience selling furniture or an aligned commercial interior product through Architecture and Design, end user and project led routes to market
Relevant backgrounds may include premium or workplace furniture as the preferred route, together with acoustic products, lighting, flooring or other closely workplace aligned design led products
Established relationships across London’s workplace Architecture and Design and corporate end user community
Demonstrable experience identifying projects, creating pipeline, managing existing accounts and converting new commercial opportunities
A strong understanding of the specification, design, procurement and project delivery cycle, with the ability to manage opportunities from concept through to order and delivery
Strong commercial awareness, including an understanding of project value, margin, turnover and account potential
Excellent communication, presentation and relationship building skills, with the confidence to present premium products and solutions to senior design and client stakeholders
Strong organisation, disciplined CRM management and the ability to work autonomously while contributing positively to an international team
A professional, credible and solutions focused approach, together with a genuine interest in furniture, architecture, product design and commercial interiors
Flexibility to travel across the UK, Ireland and internationally where required

ORGANISATIONAL CONTEXT

The successful individual will report to a senior international sales leader and join a collaborative UK and Ireland Contract team, with responsibility for defined Architecture and Design accounts and project opportunities.

The role is supported by established international teams across sales coordination, marketing, technical design, project support, logistics, delivery, finance and aftersales, together with comprehensive product and commercial training in the UK and Europe.

The Person

This is not an entry level or purely developmental opportunity. The successful individual will already have a meaningful track record of generating and developing project led business within London’s workplace or wider premium commercial interiors market.

Direct furniture experience would be valuable but is not essential. Greater importance will be placed on the quality of the individual’s Architecture and Design and end user relationships, their understanding of specification led commercial sales, and their ability to represent a premium international design business credibly.

You will be a visible and active presence in the market, comfortable engaging across design studios, corporate workplaces, showroom events, client presentations and project meetings. You will combine design appreciation with commercial drive, understanding that strong relationships and specification activity must ultimately translate into measurable project and revenue performance.

You will be proactive, organised and accountable, with the judgement to prioritise opportunities effectively. Positive, collaborative and solutions focused, you will also bring the emotional intelligence and cultural awareness required to operate successfully within a close knit and internationally connected team.
