Passive Fire Protection Surveyor in Chelmsford, Essex

EA Associates are recruiting a Passive Fire Protection Surveyor on behalf of a well-established contractor developing a newly formed Passive Fire Protection team.

You will play an important role in assessing existing fire stopping and compartmentation, identifying defects and providing the information needed to plan and deliver remedial works.

Joining the team at this stage offers the chance to contribute to its surveying approach and reporting standards, with opportunities to take on greater responsibility as the division grows.

The Role

You will undertake site surveys, accurately record your findings and produce clear reports that give clients and delivery teams a practical understanding of the works required.

The position will involve working closely with the Contracts Manager and installation teams, ensuring that survey information is detailed, accessible and useful throughout the delivery process.

Responsibilities will include:

• Undertaking passive fire protection and compartmentation surveys across client sites.

• Inspecting accessible fire stopping installations, service penetrations, joints and compartment lines.

• Identifying defects, missing fire stopping and areas requiring further investigation.

• Recording the location, condition and extent of defects through photographs and detailed survey notes.

• Reviewing available drawings, specifications and existing records to support inspections.

• Preparing clear reports and schedules of required remedial works.

• Highlighting access restrictions, concealed areas and limitations within survey findings.

• Liaising with clients and site representatives to arrange access and explain findings.

• Supporting the contracts and installation teams with queries relating to surveyed works.

• Maintaining organised records and contributing to consistent surveying and reporting processes.

About You

You will have previous experience surveying passive fire protection works and a good understanding of fire stopping systems, compartmentation and common installation defects.

You should be thorough in your inspections, confident producing accurate reports and able to communicate technical findings clearly. A practical understanding of how remedial works are delivered will help you provide useful information to the installation team.

Relevant industry training or qualifications would be advantageous, alongside confidence using digital surveying and reporting systems.
