This is a hands-on engineering role with responsibility for leading a small team of multi-disciplinary (primarily electronic) engineers. We are seeking a candidate who can grow into leading our UK Engineering department over the course of 2-4 years.
As part of the engineering leadership team of Avire, you will play a pivotal role in nurturing the engineering capability we need to deliver outstanding products that delight our customers. You will play a key role in supporting the UK Engineering Manager in leading the department, and we will support you in developing into an Engineering Manager role within Avire, or the wider Halma group, in the future.
We are at the forefront of development of emergency communications systems and other safety-of-life products for the building services industry, with a particular focus on high-rise buildings. Your work will be critical to ensuring that building occupants, particularly less mobile occupants, and those with disabilities, are protected and able to communicate in the event of emergencies such as high-rise building fires.
We recognise that everyone’s engineering story is a little different, and so we welcome applications from candidates who may have followed a non-traditional career path, or taken a career break, for any reason.
