FPC is a third party-accredited fire compliance consultancy and contractor; currently providing remedial passive fire protection to the leading student and residential accommodation providers, schools, NHS, new-build construction sites and many other major clients throughout the UK.
Our office is based in Northwich, Cheshire, but we are ideally looking for joiners who can work nationwide with proven experience in fire doors and working on fire-risk projects (fire door installation, fire door maintenance, firestopping, fire compartmentation, etc.) to join the company. We are seeking a skilled and detail-oriented fire door joiner to join our team, specialising in the installation of new doors, upgrading existing fire doors, and conducting fire door surveys. This role is critical to ensuring that all fire doors meet regulatory compliance and safety standards. This role will be on a sub-contract basis, but can be made permanent for ideal candidates.
You will be working as part of a team to deliver a programme of fire safety and upgrade works, providing excellent service to our customers. You will be expected to be able to work on your own initiative, within agreed performance targets, and possess the ability to work in a fast-paced environment. You would be required on occasion to work at any of our clients’ properties across the country, so working away from home is an integral part of the role.
Payment terms will be on a weekly basis and works will be paid on price.
