Engineering and Monitoring Manager – London Fire Brigade

The LFB is looking for an inspiring and highly capable Engineering and Monitoring Manager to join our Fleet Liaison Engineering & Equipment Team (FLEET) on a permanent basis. Based at Union Street Headquarters (SE1 0LL
) with the flexibility of hybrid working, this is a rare opportunity to play a pivotal role in supporting one of the world’s busiest fire and rescue services.

In this role, you will lead a team of engineers and support staff, ensuring that the Brigade receives high quality service and best value from the Fleet & Operational Equipment Management and Maintenance Contract, as well as other long‑term agreements. You will also provide expert engineering guidance to support the Brigade’s transport and operational equipment needs.

As the Engineering and Monitoring Manager, you’ll lead a dedicated team of engineers and support specialists who ensure the Brigade’s fleet and operational equipment are always ready to protect London. You’ll oversee the performance of our Fleet & Operational Equipment Management and Maintenance Contract and other long‑term partnerships, making sure the Brigade receives exceptional service, innovation, and value for money.

You’ll be the Brigade’s expert voice on engineering matters — influencing decisions, shaping future developments, and ensuring our vehicles and equipment remain safe, efficient, and fit for frontline work.

We’re looking for someone who brings credibility, confidence, and technical expertise.

• A skilled commercial vehicle technician with hands‑on experience and a BTEC (or equivalent) qualification, or
• An experienced engineering manager with a strong grasp of maintenance practices, vehicle repair principles, and the proven ability to lead a technical team.

Whichever route you’ve taken, you’ll be a problem solver with excellent judgement, able to stay composed under pressure and make sound, timely decisions.

Applicants must have a clean CAT B full UK driving licence. (The successful candidate will be required to take and pass the Brigade’s driving assessment).
