CHPK Fire Engineering | London or any UK office | £80,000 – £100,000 + bonus & benefits
Shape the safety of London's skyline.
Some of the most complex high-rise buildings in London are being created right now, and the fire safety decisions made at design stage will protect the people who live and work in them for decades. We're looking for an experienced fire engineer to join us as Associate Director to lead that work and help grow a fire engineering practice with real momentum.
You'll join a team of more than 35 fire engineers, CFD engineers, structural fire engineers, fire risk assessors, external wall consultants and façade designers. We believe in putting life safety at the forefront of design while helping design teams realise their ambitions. You'll also work alongside our Facades, Building Safety and Building Control specialists, which gives you a joined-up view of how a building comes together and the chance to influence it from every angle. Because every instruction has an appointed director, you'll have genuine ownership of your projects and your client relationships.
Send your CV and a covering letter to louise.harrisonclarke@chpk.co.uk by 10 November 2026.
What you'll be doing
What you'll bring
Just as importantly, you'll be someone others want to work with. You communicate clearly with everyone from junior engineers to regulators, stay calm and decisive under pressure, and bring regulatory precision and professional integrity to everything you do. You're analytical and methodical, and you get satisfaction from helping the next generation of fire engineers develop.
