Job Description

Contracts Engineer — Fire Suppression (Water Mist)
Location: Home-based (UK-wide) with travel to sites (primarily London & South)
Salary: Up to £45,000 + package

We are a specialist water mist fire suppression manufacturer and installer, and we’re looking for a Contracts Engineer to take ownership of project delivery from order through to handover.

The Role

You will act as the central coordination point between our product supply, installation subcontractors, main contractors, and clients. While the role is home-based, you’ll attend site at key milestones. You’ll take full ownership of project documentation, drive payment applications, manage subcontractor delivery, and serve as the primary client-facing contact across multiple live projects.

Key Responsibilities

  * 

    Coordinate project programmes and procurement — ensuring smooth flow from product supply through to installation

  * 

    Compile and manage commissioning documentation packs (O&Ms, compliance records, test certificates, as-builts)

  * 

    Prepare and submit payment applications; certify subcontractor payments

  * 

    Manage subcontractor scope, performance, and day-to-day delivery interface

  * 

    Build and maintain strong relationships with clients and main contractors throughout delivery

What We’re Looking For

  * 

    Background as a Contracts Engineer or Project Engineer within a UK fire protection, sprinkler, M&E, or building services contractor

  * 

    Strong experience in document control, commissioning packs, and subcontractor management

  * 

    Comfortable handling payment applications and basic contract administration

  * 

    Highly organised, with the ability to manage multiple projects without losing attention to detail

  * 

    Clear and confident communicator

  * 

    Experience in fire suppression or water mist systems is desirable but not essential — full training will be provided

Why Join Us

This is a pivotal role in a fast-growing specialist business. You won’t be stepping into a rigid structure — you’ll help build and shape the delivery function, working closely with directors and influencing how the business scales
