Fire Risk Consultant

The Opportunity

Shape Safer Spaces with Stantec.

Are you a qualified fire safety professional ready to step up into a consultancy role with real responsibility and room to grow? At Stantec, we’re looking for a Fire Risk Consultant to join our expanding Fire Risk Management team. This role can be based anywhere in the South-East.

This is a chance to work on complex buildings, provide expert advice, and contribute to safer environments across the UK—all while mentoring others and continuing to advance your own career.

As a Fire Risk Consultant, you’ll conduct fire risk assessments (FRAs) on a wide variety of buildings, typically of medium complexity and normal risk. You’ll apply your technical knowledge to deliver high-quality outputs in line with the Regulatory standards. You’ll also support and mentor graduate consultants and develop your skills across a range of specialist areas.

You will complete medium-complexity and normal-risk fire risk assessments (FRAs) and provide clear, specialist advice and technical support to clients. You will assist with mentoring Graduate Consultants and contribute to the development and growth of the team.

You will act as a professional ambassador of Stantec, maintaining strong client relationships and upholding our values and ensure high-quality deliverables with attention to both safety and detail.

About You

You will have a recognised qualification in a fire safety or fire-related subject and will ideally have the following:

• Minimum Technician Membership with the Institution of Fire Engineers (IFE).
• Registered with a recognised third-party accreditation scheme (e.g., IFE Register of Fire Risk Assessors).
• Practical experience carrying out fire risk assessments, ideally including medium-complexity projects.
• Organised and proactive approach to project delivery and time management.
• Passion for professional development and a desire to mentor others.
  
  

This is primarily a site-based role and therefore you must be willing to travel to sits throughout the South-East region.
