Job Title: Fire & Security Installation Engineer
Location: Newry
Salary: £30,000 – £42,000 DOE + Company Van, Fuel Card & Tools

Description

Due to continued growth, our client is seeking a skilled Fire & Security Installation Engineer to join their established engineering team in Newry. This role will predominantly focus on the installation of fire alarm systems, making it ideal for engineers who enjoy project-based work and seeing systems through from first fix to commissioning.

Our client is also keen to speak with 2nd, 3rd or 4th year apprentices who are progressing well in their training and looking to further develop their hands-on installation experience within a knowledgeable and supportive team.
