* A full UK driving licence.
* BAFE certification (required).
* Good communication, time management, and a customer-first approach.
* Technical aptitude – switched on and eager to learn.
* Flexibility to travel daily and occasionally stay away.
* Fire alarm experience, IPAF/PASMA, CSCS/ECS or basic electrical skills? Even better!
What You'll Get:
* £32,000 - £35,000 basic salary
* Quarterly bonus scheme
* Door-to-door travel paid
* Company van, fuel card, uniform, and tools
* 25 days holiday + bank holidays + your birthday off

* Full week induction in Hereford (travel and accommodation covered)
* Assigned a buddy engineer for the first 4–6 weeks
* 6-month probation with excellent support
