Job Type: Permanent
Location: CF32 9BS, Tondu, Bridgend county borough

Expire in: 8 days

Job Description

About the Role: We are a well-established, growing construction and fire protection business based in the Bridgend area, delivering residential sprinkler systems across South and West Wales. Following strong demand — driven in large part by the Welsh Government’s mandatory sprinkler legislation — we are looking for a skilled Residential Sprinkler Engineer to join our team.

You’ll be responsible for the installation, commissioning, testing, and maintenance of domestic and residential fire sprinkler systems in accordance with BS 9251:2021. This is a specialist role with excellent long-term prospects in one of the most consistently active markets in the UK for this discipline.

What You’ll Do

  *  Install residential fire sprinkler systems to BS 9251:2021 on new build and retrofit projects across South Wales

  * Carry out first and second fix installation of sprinkler pipework, heads, control valves, alarm systems, and water supplies if needed

  * Commission and test completed systems, including flow and pressure testing and alarm activation checks, along with compliance paperwork

  * Conduct routine servicing and maintenance inspections in line with manufacturer and regulatory requirements

  * Work with a range of pipe materials including CPVC (e.g. BlazeMaster), copper, and steel as specified

  * Read and work from hydraulic calculation outputs, layout drawings, and system design documentation. Including any as fitted mark ups

  * Liaise with site managers, other trades, building control, and end clients professionally

  * Complete all relevant certification, commissioning records, and handover documentation accurately

  * Maintain a safe working environment and adhere to all site health & safety requirements

What We’re Looking For

  * Proven experience installing residential or commercial fire sprinkler systems — essential

  * Sound working knowledge of BS 9251:2021 (domestic/residential sprinklers) — essential

  * FIA, LPCB, or equivalent industry-recognised sprinkler qualification — highly desirable

  * Experience working with CPVC pipework systems such as BlazeMaster is a strong advantage

  * Ability to read and interpret hydraulic calculation reports and system drawings

  * Solid understanding of water supply requirements: mains-fed, tank-fed, and pump-boosted systems

  * CSCS card and relevant site safety certifications

  * Strong attention to detail — precision is critical in this discipline

  * Full UK driving licence — essential

  * A plumbing background is advantageous but not essential if sprinkler experience is strong

Note on qualifications: We welcome applications from candidates working towards formal qualifications. If you have solid hands-on sprinkler installation experience but are still completing your FIA accreditation or equivalent, we’d still like to hear from you — we actively support training and professional development.
