Warden Call & Access Control Engineer
Job Type: Permanent
Full or Part Time: Full-Time
Category: Electrical & Security Division
Location: Portsmouth
Description:
Warden Call & Access Control Engineer
Location: Portsmouth
Keep Life-Critical Systems Running. Make a Real Difference.
Are you a skilled engineer who wants more than just turning up and turning a spanner? Join HJS (Harrold-Jones Services), part of the Ventro Group, and take on a field-based role where your expertise genuinely matters. The systems you maintain keep vulnerable people safe – warden call units in sheltered housing, door entry to healthcare facilities, and access control across commercial and residential properties. When you fix a fault, real lives are better protected.
We’re a growing, connected team that values independence and trust. You’ll have the autonomy to manage your own day, your own van, and your own workload – backed by a supportive office team and colleagues who’ll share knowledge and have your back when you need it. No micromanagement. Just high standards and the freedom to do the job properly.
Why This Role?
Work That Actually Matters: Every system you maintain is life-critical. Warden call systems protect elderly and vulnerable residents. Access control secures healthcare facilities. Door entry keeps communities safe. You’re not just fixing boxes – you’re a key part of keeping people protected.
Variety Every Single Day: No two days are the same. You’ll move between healthcare, housing, commercial, and residential sites across the UK, working across leading platforms including Paxton, Tynetec, Tunstall, and Comelit. From reactive call-outs to new installations, you’ll keep your technical skills sharp.
Real Career Development: HJS invests in its engineers. You’ll receive funded manufacturer training, support towards qualifications, and the opportunity to grow your skills across an increasingly broad range of systems. As the team grows, there are real pathways to senior and mentoring roles for those who want them.
Autonomy & Trust: You’ll be trusted to manage your own diary, your van, and your workload. We set high standards, then we let you get on with it. Regular team catch-ups mean you’re never isolated, but day-to-day you’re your own boss on site.
Other benefits include:
Company Vehicle: Fully equipped van with specialist tools and diagnostic equipment provided
Flexible Benefits: Holiday purchase scheme allowing additional time off
Healthcare: Comprehensive healthcare coverage
Employee Referral Programme: Financial incentives for successful candidate referrals
Sustainable Transport: Cycle-to-work scheme supporting environmental initiatives
Company Rewards: Access to employee discount schemes and recognition programmes
Professional Development: Fully funded manufacturer training and role-specific qualifications to support career growth
On-Call Supplement: Additional pay for participation in the out-of-hours on-call rota
What You’ll Do
You’ll carry out planned preventative maintenance and reactive repairs across door entry, access control, and warden call systems. Working independently across multiple client sites, you’ll diagnose and resolve faults on platforms including Paxton, Tynetec (XT2 and Reach Digital), Tunstall, and Comelit - hitting first-time fix targets and attending warden call callouts within contracted response windows.
You’ll also install and commission new systems – from wiring and containment through to handover documentation – and provide end-user training to clients across healthcare, housing, and commercial settings. Accurate job records, compliance with BS 7671 and health and safety legislation, and a safety-first mindset on every site are central to everything you do.
What We’re Looking For
Essential:
- 3–5 years’ hands-on experience with door entry, access control, or warden/nurse call systems
- NVQ Level 3 or 18th Edition (City & Guilds 2391 or equivalent)
- Strong fault-finding and diagnostic skills across integrated electronic systems
- Installation and commissioning experience including wiring and containment (BS 7671)
- Experience across at least two sectors: healthcare, housing, commercial, or residential
- Full clean UK driving licence
- CSCS card, Asbestos Awareness, Manual Handling, and Health & Safety certificates
- DBS check required prior to appointment
- Confident, professional communication with clients, housing officers, and healthcare staff
- Ability to manage your own workload and prioritise reactive call-outs to meet SLAs
- Must hold CSCS card and relevant H&S certifications (Asbestos Awareness, Manual Handling)
Ideal:
- Someone who thrives on variety and takes genuine pride in work that protects vulnerable people
- Enjoys technical problem-solving across complex, integrated systems
- Self-motivated and reliable – works well without direct supervision
- Manufacturer experience on Tynetec, Tunstall, or Paxton platforms

Fire Door Estimator
Job Type: Permanent
Full or Part Time: Full-Time
Category: Passive Division
Location: Somerset
Description:
Ventro Group is a leading fire safety and building compliance business, delivering critical life safety services across the United Kingdom. Backed by private equity investment from KLAR Partners, we are on an ambitious growth trajectory - scaling our operations, investing in our people, and setting new standards across the fire safety sector.
Operating through our specialist brands - Ventro, Firntec, and HJS - we provide a comprehensive range of fire safety and building compliance solutions including:
- Active fire protection: fire alarm design, installation, commissioning, and maintenance
- Passive fire protection: fire stopping, compartmentation surveys, and remediation
- Façade inspection, assessment, and remediation
- Fire risk assessments and building compliance consultancy
- Fire door inspection, maintenance, and replacement
With KLAR Partners’ investment and strategic support, Ventro Group is positioned for significant expansion. This is an exciting time to join a business that is professionalising at pace, building best-in-class infrastructure, and making a genuine difference to the safety of buildings and the people who live and work in them.
The Role
This is a rare opportunity to join Ventro Group’s Passive Fire Division at a pivotal moment in our growth story - and to play a central role in winning the work that keeps our delivery teams busy and our clients safe.
As our Fire Door Estimator, you will be the engine behind our preconstruction capability - producing accurate, competitive, and fully compliant cost estimates for passive fire protection projects across the UK. You’ll sit within our Preconstruction team, reporting to the Sales Manager, and working hand-in-glove with our sales, engineering, and project delivery functions.
Day to day, you can expect to:
- Take ownership of detailed cost estimates for fire doors, fire stopping, compartmentation, and associated passive fire systems
- Interrogate drawings, specifications, and technical documents to build robust, deliverable pricing submissions
- Support the sales team with quotations and tender submissions, liaising with suppliers to secure competitive pricing
- Identify and flag technical risks, scope gaps, and compliance issues before they become problems on site
- Attend site surveys as required, ensuring your estimates reflect real-world conditions
This is a role with genuine commercial impact. You’ll be influencing project values from £10k to £1m+, and your ability to balance competitiveness with margin is what makes the difference. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, enjoy the challenge of managing multiple tenders at once, and take real pride in the accuracy of your work - this role was made for you.
What We’re Looking For
We assess all candidates against our SKEB framework - the Skills, Knowledge, Experience, and Behaviours required to succeed in this role and contribute to our mission of keeping people safe.
Skills
You’ll need to hit the ground running with strong construction estimating and cost modelling ability, and a confident eye for reading architectural drawings and specifications. Numerical precision and analytical thinking are at the heart of this role, alongside proficiency in Excel and estimating software. You’ll be managing several live tenders simultaneously, so excellent time management and organisational discipline are essential. Strong communicators who can translate complex technical detail into clear, compelling proposals will really stand out.
Knowledge
A solid understanding of passive fire protection - fire stopping, compartmentation, fire doors, and coatings - is essential, as is familiarity with Building Regulations Part B and the British Standards that underpin compliant fire safety delivery. You’ll need to understand construction pricing structures across labour, materials, and subcontractor costs. Knowledge of third-party certification schemes such as FIRAS or BM TRADA is a real advantage, and any broader understanding of construction contracts and tendering processes will stand you in excellent stead.
Experience
We’re looking for a proven estimator with a track record of producing accurate, competitive bids in a construction environment - ideally with exposure to passive fire protection or fire stopping. You’ll be comfortable working from drawings, specifications, and full tender packages, and you’ll know what it feels like to work to real commercial deadlines. Experience conducting site surveys, working cross-functionally with sales and delivery teams, or managing a multi-project tender pipeline would all strengthen your application considerably.
Behaviours
Above all, we want someone who takes genuine pride in the quality and accuracy of their work - someone who holds themselves accountable without needing to be chased. You’ll be proactive with internal stakeholders, collaborative across teams, and always have one eye on the compliance and safety implications of every decision you make. A continuous improvement mindset, commercial awareness, and the ability to stay calm and effective when the tender calendar gets busy are the hallmarks of someone who will thrive in this role.
Our Values
At Ventro Group, our values aren’t just words on a wall - they define how we work, how we treat each other, and how we deliver for our customers. We look for people who share these principles and can demonstrate them every day.
Right from the Start - Get it right first time, take pride in quality, and always deliver for the customer.
Extreme Ownership - Own your outcomes, understand your impact, and bring solutions not problems.
Day 1 Mindset - Stay hungry, stay lean, put the customer first, and be better today than yesterday.
What We Offer
- Competitive salary and benefits package
- Opportunity to be part of a PE-backed, high-growth business with genuine career progression
- Investment in your professional development and training
- A values-driven culture where your contribution is recognised and rewarded
- The chance to work in a sector that makes a real difference to people’s safety
How to Apply
If this sounds like the role you’ve been waiting for, we’d love to hear from you. Please send your CV to recruitment@ventrogroup.co.uk with the subject line “Fire Doorset Scheduler and Estimator — Somerset”. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, so we encourage you to apply early.
