We’re hiring a Junior or Apprentice Fire & Security Engineer to grow with us at FST Systems.

Full training + a fully funded apprenticeship course provided. No experience needed — just the right attitude.

We’re not looking for someone who wants an easy ride. We want hungry, driven people who are ready to work hard, grow a proper career, and help us build this into a national brand.

This job isn’t for everyone — it can be hard, dirty, and unsociable at times. But if you thrive on high standards, real responsibility and want to learn from some of the best engineers in the area, this could be the opportunity of a lifetime.

Swipe through the carousel to see exactly what we’re about (no bull, just straight talking).

Interested?
Email us at [email protected] with the subject line “Apprentice Application”.

We don’t want a CV — show us who you really are (video, letter, projects, anything creative). We want to get to know the real you.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Exciting Opportunity – Fire Suppression Lead to Launch Our New Fire Suppression Division!
Based in Chester – Serving the North West & North Wales

We’re recruiting a Fire Suppression Lead to build and run our brand-new in-house fire suppression service – a completely fresh discipline for the business.

No more subcontracting: we’re now looking to deliver design, installation, and maintenance directly to clients across the North West of England and North Wales. If you’re based in or around Chester, this could be your chance to own and grow something from the ground up.

What the role involves:
- Full ownership from day one – getting this service launched and running smoothly
- In the early stages, hands-on site work, carrying out servicing and maintenance for our existing clients’ systems
- Leading us through full BAFE accreditation (we’ll support you with our internal team + specialist consultants, but the ultimate responsibility sits with you)
- Building capability across all aspects of fire suppression: design, installation, servicing & maintenance
- Short-term objectives: Secure servicing for current clients, put processes, paperwork and structure in place, and achieve BAFE
- Medium-term: Expand the installation & servicing side with new customers plus recruit and build your own team
- Long-term: Scale this division to sit alongside and complement our existing service offerings

Who we’re looking for:
Broad, hands-on experience across all elements of fire suppression systems – with particular strength on the mechanical side (our current skills gap within the business). You thrive on taking ownership, building from scratch, and rolling your sleeves up.

Location is important: Ideally based in or near Chester or the surrounding North West / North Wales areas for easy access to sites and close team collaboration.

If launching and leading a new department excites you more than slotting into an established one, we’d love to hear from you!

🚨 New ISO Standard Recognises Lithium-Ion Battery Fires as Class L – Time to Update Your Risk Assessment? 🚨

Lithium-ion batteries power EVs, e-bikes, tools, laptops, warehouses and more – but when thermal runaway kicks in, ordinary extinguishers get overwhelmed and fires often reignite dangerously.

Big news: ISO has just published the revision to ISO 3941 “Classification of fires”, introducing a brand-new Class L specifically for lithium-ion battery fires. This follows recommendations from the Fire Industry Association’s Lithium-ion Battery Special Interest Group and reflects the real, growing risks we’re all facing in this battery-driven world.

Class L fires are electrochemical beasts – higher energy density, faster growth, toxic gases, explosion potential and stubborn re-ignition. Treating them like standard Class A, B or electrical fires is no longer good enough.

At FST Fire Compliance & Security, we install specialised LFX Lithium Fire Extinguishers that are built for exactly this: they cool burning cells, encapsulate electrolytes, block oxygen, halt thermal runaway and prevent re-ignition – unlike generic agents. Non-toxic, eco-friendly and dead simple to use.

Don’t wait for an incident to find out your current setup falls short. A proper lithium battery fire risk assessment is now more critical than ever for compliance, protecting people, assets and your operations.

Is your site, fleet or facility ready for Class L risks? Drop a comment below or DM us – we’ll sort a no-obligation risk assessment and tailored extinguisher installation.
