· Practical knowledge of BS 5839-1, installation testing and electrical safety relevant to your work.

· Ability to read drawings, plan cable routes and produce consistent, tidy installations.

· Relevant fire alarm training supported by practical experience.

· Reliability, good communication and the judgement to recognise when specialist support is needed.

· A full driving licence valid in the UK and willingness to travel to sites, with occasional overnight stays by agreement.
