If you're looking to develop specialist expertise in an essential industry while working on diverse, meaningful projects, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for. What's in it for you..... Build specialist expertise - You'll become highly skilled in fire safety estimating, working across passive fire protection, active fire systems, sprinklers, fire alarms and more. Develop knowledge in building regulations, fire safety standards and compliance frameworks that will make you invaluable in the industry. Diverse and engaging work - Every project brings something different. One week you're estimating passive fire protection for a high-rise development, the next you're pricing active fire suppression systems for commercial buildings. The variety keeps the work interesting and accelerates your learning. Job security in a recession-proof sector - Fire safety is always in demand. Regulations are tightening, compliance requirements are increasing, and buildings always need protection. You'll be working in a sector with genuine long-term career prospects and clear progression paths.

You'll need to spot potential challenges early - access restrictions, specification conflicts, or compliance issues that could impact project delivery and costs. Time management is crucial. You'll be managing multiple tenders simultaneously while ensuring everything is submitted well ahead of deadline. Attention to detail matters - your specifications need to be watertight and your cost analyses thorough enough to withstand scrutiny. You'll also be building strong relationships with trade partners and suppliers, negotiating competitive rates and creating a reliable network across fire protection manufacturers, specialist installers and system providers. Working closely with our delivery team, you'll ensure your estimates are realistic, achievable and aligned with on-site realities. You'll identify risks and opportunities in project scopes, preparing cost breakdowns that work for both internal teams and client review. What you'll need.....

About the role This isn't just another estimating position. Fire safety is experiencing significant growth driven by evolving regulations, heightened compliance requirements and increased industry focus on building safety. You'll be joining Ventro Group at an exciting time with genuine opportunities for career development. The work is challenging but rewarding.
