Specialist engineering recruitment
Hire Fire Protection Engineers Who Fit the Work
Fire protection engineering is not one job title. A fire code consultant, a suppression designer, and an engineering manager bring different strengths. Ignis Global helps you define the role and find people with relevant project experience, not just matching keywords on a CV.
Roles we discuss with employers
Different disciplines need different searches

Beyond the job title
What we look for when presenting candidates
Technical scope
Is this code consulting, performance-based fire engineering, suppression design, fire alarm, life safety, or a blend? We define the work before identifying candidates.
Project delivery
We discuss the projects they have actually delivered, their level of design ownership, and their experience with clients, contractors, and authorities having jurisdiction.
Practical fit
Licensing or chartership needs, location, working pattern, compensation, and leadership expectations all shape the shortlist.
In the US, a Professional Engineer license may be essential for some roles. In the UK and other markets, the relevant qualifications and professional memberships can differ. We discuss the jurisdiction and level of responsibility with you rather than assuming one credential fits every search.
Searching across borders, hiring for your market
Ignis works across the US, UK, and international fire and life safety markets. Local codes, professional credentials, compensation, and the need for on-site project work all affect who will succeed in your team.
Start with a clear brief
Tell us the discipline, location, project mix, seniority, budget, and what the hire needs to deliver in the first year. We can then discuss a targeted search rather than send an untailored stack of profiles.
