Opportunity: Company Fire Officer at Babcock International (Devonport Royal Dockyard)

Babcock International, a company dedicated to creating a safe and secure world, is seeking a proactive and experienced Company Fire Officer to join their team at the Devonport Royal Dockyard in Plymouth. This is a significant opportunity for a professional looking to make a tangible impact on national security while advancing their leadership and technical expertise in a complex and crucial environment.

Key Advantages for Candidates:

  • Meaningful Impact: This role offers the chance to contribute directly to national security by ensuring robust fire safety protocols are in place within a high-stakes operational site.
  • Professional Development: Babcock is committed to employee growth. You'll have opportunities to enhance your leadership and technical skills, with encouragement to pursue Chartered status with IOSH or the Institute of Fire Engineers.
  • Dynamic Environment: Working at a Royal Dockyard provides a unique and challenging setting, exposing you to diverse fire safety considerations and requiring adaptive problem-solving.
  • Comprehensive Benefits: The compensation package is competitive and includes a generous holiday allowance, matched contribution pension with life assurance, access to digital health services, an employee share scheme, and various wellbeing support programs.
  • Team Leadership: You will have the opportunity to lead a small team of fire safety professionals, setting training standards and fostering a culture of excellence.

Key Considerations for Your Career Path:

  • Hazardous Industry Experience: The role necessitates extensive previous fire safety experience within a hazardous industry such as construction or heavy manufacturing. This background is crucial for understanding and mitigating complex risks.
  • Legislation and Compliance: A strong grasp of fire safety legislation, particularly the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and the ability to ensure site-wide compliance are paramount.
  • Leadership and Influence: Proven leadership and management experience are essential, as you will be responsible for influencing stakeholders at all levels and driving continual improvement.
  • Qualifications: A Level 5 qualification in a fire safety-related discipline (or working towards it) and a current Level 4 Fire Risk Assessor qualification are required. Desirable qualifications include leadership and SHE auditing certifications.
  • Security Clearance: A critical requirement for this role is the ability to obtain and maintain Security Check (SC) security clearance. This necessitates being a sole UK national and meeting specific residency and citizenship criteria. Candidates should familiarise themselves with UK government guidelines on security vetting.
  • On-Site Presence: The role is based full-time at the Devonport Royal Dockyard, requiring a commitment to on-site operations for 35 hours per week.

For professionals with a strong foundation in fire safety and a desire to contribute to critical national infrastructure, this Company Fire Officer position at Babcock International presents a compelling career opportunity. The emphasis on leadership, continuous improvement, and professional development, coupled with a comprehensive benefits package and the unique challenge of working in a secure environment, makes this role highly attractive for ambitious individuals.
