Empire Recruitment is partnering with a long-established provider of specialist fire-protection and life-safety solutions. Our client delivers a comprehensive range of services, including the design, supply, installation and maintenance of electrical fire-safety systems used across commercial and residential construction projects.
Their capabilities span fire detection and alarm systems, suppression technologies, emergency lighting, life-safety equipment, ventilation-related safety systems and full regulatory compliance support. They work closely with developers, main contractors and building services teams to deliver fully integrated, project-specific safety solutions.

• Strong background in electrical B2B sales, ideally selling into developers, construction companies, M&E contractors or building services consultancies.
• Proven success developing new business within the Irish construction or building-services sector.
• Good understanding of electrical installations, fire-safety systems or building-safety technologies (experience with alarms/detection/suppression is a strong advantage).
• Confidence discussing technical products and solutions with engineering teams, main contractors and senior stakeholders.
