Three trades, one ground: keeping buildings safe.Three trades, one ground: keeping buildings safe.

Extinguisher technician

• Full time · terms to be agreed
• Belgium · daily travel

The periodic inspection of extinguishers at our clients’ sites, from a corner shop to an industrial hall.

The role

• Periodic inspection and servicing of portable extinguishers, under NBN S 21-050
• Replacing worn parts, refills, withdrawing non-compliant equipment
• Writing the visit report and keeping the safety register current
• Advising the client on site: placement, signage, missing equipment

What we look for

• Category B licence — the round is driven in a company van
• Precision: what the report says binds the client and us alike
• Comfortable with people: you are often the only face of the company
• NBN S 21-050 is learned here if you do not know it yet

The hose reel is a separate trade. It falls under a different standard — the EN 671 series, EN 671-1 for the equipment and EN 671-3 for its maintenance — and fitting a new reel calls for a plumber’s hand. Inspecting one, on the other hand, is learned after training: several of our extinguisher technicians do it.

Electrician

• Full time · terms to be agreed
• Belgium · sites and buildings in use

Installing detection systems: cabling, devices, terminations — often in buildings that keep running throughout.

The role

• Pulling cable and fitting detectors, call points and sounders
• Terminations in the cabinet and at the control panel
• Working in occupied sites, at night or on shifted hours depending on the job
• Taking over existing systems, any manufacturer

What we look for

• Training or experience in building electrical work
• Category B licence
• A VCA / LSC certificate is a plus
• Careful work: a badly labelled cable is paid for years later

Fire panel technician

• Full time · terms to be agreed
• Belgium · commissioning and fault finding

The brain of the system: configuration, commissioning, fault finding and interfaces.

The role

• Configuring and commissioning fire detection panels
• Testing and handover with the client and, where relevant, the emergency zone
• Interfaces: smoke extraction, fire doors, lifts, alarm transmission
• Fault finding and maintenance visits under NBN S 21-100-2

What we look for

• Experience in fire detection, extra-low voltage or control systems
• Self-reliance: you are often alone with a system that will not say where the fault is
• Category B licence
• French or Dutch; the other is learned on site
