Snr Fire Door Surveyor

Senior Fire Door Inspector / Surveyor – BM TRADA Q-Mark
Location: Surrey & London
Salary: £50,000 – £60,000 DOE + Commission + Benefits

The Opportunity

This is a rare and standout opportunity for a highly experienced Senior Fire Door Inspector to join a growing and ambitious fire door specialist at a pivotal stage of their development. 

This is not a standard surveying role. You will play a central part in supporting the business through the BM TRADA Q-Mark scheme whilst carrying out fire door surveys directly, taking on a senior, client-facing position with real influence over the direction and quality of the business. For commercially minded candidates there is also genuine earning potential through a generous commission structure on new business and referrals.

The Role

As Senior Fire Door Inspector, you will take ownership of fire door surveys across high-end residential blocks — typically five to six storeys — carrying out thorough compliance inspections, producing client-ready reports and supporting the business through the BM TRADA Q-Mark accreditation process. The role is split roughly 75% site-based and 25% office-based, flexing toward a 50/50 split depending on reporting and paperwork load.

You will act as the main point of contact for clients, bringing strong people skills and a professional, confident approach to every interaction. Quoting for inspection and survey work is part of the role, with some involvement in new business development for those with commercial ambition.

Key Responsibilities

• Support the business in achieving and progressing BM TRADA Q-Mark scheme status — a central part of this role
• Carry out thorough fire door surveys including compliance checks, gap tolerances, ironmongery, intumescent seals and signage
• Carry out intrusive fire door inspections when required
• Produce clear, accurate and client-ready survey reports to a consistently high standard
• Review and quality assure survey reports produced by the wider team
• Mentor and provide technical guidance to junior inspectors and engineers
• Identify defects and non-compliance issues in line with current fire door regulations and standards
• Act as the primary point of contact for clients — managing relationships, expectations and communications professionally
• Prepare quotations for inspection and survey works — fire door experience in this area essential, broader quoting experience desirable
• Support new business development and referrals where appropriate — commission available
• Liaise with site teams and contract managers throughout project delivery

What We're Looking For

• Extensive, proven experience as a Senior Fire Door Inspector or Surveyor — essential
• Strong, demonstrated experience working with BM TRADA — essential for this role
• Comfortable working on high-end residential properties including occupied blocks of flats
• Experience quoting for fire door inspection or survey works — desirable
• Commercially minded with some exposure to new business or client development — desirable but not essential
• Based in or around Surrey or London — essential given the location of projects
• FDIS or equivalent fire door inspection qualification — required
• BM TRADA Q-Mark awareness or accreditation — strongly preferred
• Full UK Driving Licence — required

What's On Offer

• £50,000 – £60,000 per annum depending on experience
• Bonuses
• 26 days holiday
• Expenses covered directly — no reimbursement process
• Genuine opportunity to shape the quality and accreditation standards of the business
