Project engineers sit at the sharp end of fire and security delivery, technically credible enough to manage the installation, commercially aware enough to keep it on programme, and experienced enough to know when something isn't right before it becomes a problem. If that's you, we know where the best roles are. And if you need one, we can find it.
Fire and security project engineers are not field engineers with a different job title. You're overseeing installations, writing RAMS, managing sub-contractors, attending client meetings, and reporting upwards to a project manager while still being the most technically capable person in the room. It's a demanding combination, and not every employer understands what it's worth.
At Technical Resources, we work with fire and security contractors, systems integrators, and major project businesses across the UK. We place project engineers at every level, from engineers stepping up to their first project role to experienced leads running complex, multi-site programmes.
Roles we regularly place include:
Whether you're looking for a contract role on a major programme or a permanent position with a clear path toward project management, we'll match you to the right opportunity.
The difference between a project engineer who can manage a programme and one who just shows up to the site is significant, and we know it. Our consultants will ask the right questions: what systems you've worked across, what project values you've managed, whether you've handled sub-contractor management and client-facing reporting, and what your next step looks like.
We'll find you a role that matches where you actually are in your career, not just where your job title suggests.
A fire and security project engineer who can genuinely manage a programme, keep installations on schedule, manage sub-contractors effectively, handle client communication, and escalate the right things to the right people is hard to find. A lot of candidates can install. Far fewer can run.
Technical Resources has been placing fire and security project engineers with contractors, integrators, and major programme businesses across the UK since 2000. We understand what project delivery looks like in this industry, and we screen accordingly.
