• Reviewing manufacturer details and ensuring installations align with tested solutions and industry standards.
• Working closely with project teams and senior management throughout the survey programme.
• Ensuring all findings comply with current fire safety legislation and passive fire protection standards.

• Previous experience carrying out passive fire surveys, compartmentation surveys, or fire door inspections.
• Relevant qualifications such as FDIS, ASFP, or Level 2/3 Passive Fire Protection certifications.
• Experience using reporting software such as Bolster, One Trace, or similar digital systems.
• Good understanding of passive fire products, manufacturers, and tested details.
