Passive Fire Surveyor

Job Posted: 4 days ago

Salary: £ 250 - 275 / Day
Job Type: Contract
Location: City of Westminster, Greater London

Expire in: 24 days

Job Description

We are currently recruiting for an experienced Passive Fire Surveyor to join a growing team working across a range of projects, including higher-risk buildings.

We are looking for someone with strong technical knowledge of fire safety, compartmentation and passive fire protection, who can independently identify defects and non-compliances and produce clear, professional survey reports.

The Role

As a Passive Fire Surveyor, you will be responsible for carrying out detailed compartmentation and passive fire surveys, identifying non-compliances and providing clear recommendations for remedial works.

Your responsibilities will include:

* Conducting passive fire and compartmentation surveys across a variety of building types.
* Identifying non-compliances and defects within existing passive fire protection systems.
* Assessing the adequacy and continuity of compartmentation lines.
* Interpreting fire strategies, fire plans, drawings and specifications.
* Understanding compartmentation principles rather than simply inspecting individual fire-stopping products.
* Producing formal and detailed survey reports, clearly documenting findings and recommendations.
* Working with clients, contractors and other stakeholders to communicate technical findings.
* Ensuring surveys are carried out in accordance with relevant legislation, regulations and industry standards.

Technical Knowledge & Experience

The successful candidate will have:

* A strong understanding of fire strategies and relevant Building Regulations.
* Good knowledge of compartmentation principles and passive fire protection.
* The ability to interpret construction drawings, fire plans and specifications.
* Proven experience identifying defects and non-compliance across multiple construction types.
* Experience carrying out compartmentation / passive fire surveys.
* Strong technical report-writing skills.
* An understanding of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order.
* Awareness of Golden Thread requirements and Building Safety Act implications, particularly within higher-risk buildings.

Qualifications & Competence

Ideally, you will hold one or more of the following:

* Level 3 or Level 4 Fire Safety qualification
* IFE certification/membership
* BM TRADA certification
* FDIS qualification
* Recognised Fire Door or Fire Compartmentation Inspector qualification
* Other relevant third-party accreditation or industry-recognised training

Important: An NVQ Level 2 alone is not considered a surveying qualification for this position.

For higher-risk buildings, candidates will need to demonstrate a higher level of professional competence, ideally through Level 3+ qualifications, third-party certification and/or substantial documented surveying experience.

Candidates who may not hold all of the above qualifications will still be considered where they can demonstrate:

* A proven track record of conducting compartmentation surveys.
* Relevant additional training, such as FDIS, ASFP Level 3/4 or IFC Inspector courses.
* Evidence of ongoing professional development through CPD records.
* A professional portfolio demonstrating previous surveying work.
* Relevant third-party accreditation.

The Ideal Candidate

We are looking for someone who is technically competent, thorough and confident working independently.

You should be able to look beyond individual fire-stopping products and understand the overall compartmentation strategy of a building, identifying whether compartment lines are adequate, continuous and compliant.

Experience working on higher-risk buildings would be highly advantageous
