Apprentice Fire Engineer

Fire Engineer

"I joined Innovation Fire Engineering in 2018. By 2019, I was attending University of Central Lancashire as a part-time student on the Fire Safety Engineering MSc, fully sponsored by Innovation Fire. Throughout my two years on this course, my directors and my colleagues ensured that I was given all the support I needed to be successful in my studies. In addition to this, the company is often arranging online and in-person CPD events and training courses, and emphasises the importance of continuing our professional and personal development.”

Helen Booth

“From my very first interview with Innovation Fire Engineering, I felt confident that I wasjoining a company committed to excellence. I began my career here as an apprentice, gaining practical experience while being fully sponsored to complete my degree in Fire Engineering at the University of Lancashire. I am supported by a mentor and colleagues who bring a wealth of knowledge and experience, guiding me through projects and technical assignments. In addition to hands-on project work, the in-house training sessions, CPD opportunities, and industry events have allowed me to broaden my expertise and build strong professional networks. At its core, fire engineering is built on collaboration, and I am proud to be part of a team that embodies that principle every day.”

Lily Spinardi

Apprentice Fire Engineer

“Whilst in the first year of my undergraduate Fire Engineering Degree at the University of Lancashire, I knew I wanted to start gaining industry experience as soon as I could. Innovation Fire Engineering made that possible by taking me on as a Degree Apprentice, allowing me to continue my studies part time whilst developing real-world skills, and working on live projects in my full-time role. The team provides regular training sessions and supports me with any questions I might have about project work or my coursework. Innovation Fire is a fantastic team to be a part of.”

H Salisbury

Apprentice Fire Engineer

“Joining Innovation Fire Engineering as a graduate was one of the most rewarding decisions of my professional career. From the very beginning, I received outstanding support and mentorship from senior engineers who are genuinely committed to nurturing professional development. The company promotes a highly collaborative culture, where colleagues are approachable, knowledgeable, and always willing to help, creating an environment in which learning and professional growth are actively encouraged. The company also places strong emphasis on maintaining a healthy work–life balance, which makes a significant difference in day-to-day wellbeing. With regular team-building activities and a close-knit culture, the workplace truly feels like a family away from home rather than just another office.”
