On the back of customers loving what we stand for coupled with our burning desire (excuse the pun) to transform the industry, we have a vacancy for a Fire Alarm Technician who can assist with testing and surveying.

The Role

This will mainly be by visiting customer sites to test and surveying Fire Alarm Systems for compliance with NZ/AS Standards. You will also be carrying out fault finding, service and remedial work on Fire Alarm Systems. At FSS we deliver great service as we aim to exceed our customers’ expectations.
