We’re an independent business, not a national franchise. That means decisions are made locally, standards matter, and your work is recognised.

When you join Sanders Secure, you become part of a close-knit, professional team that takes pride in doing things properly.

What you can expect:

• Predominantly local work across Plymouth and surrounding areas

• A professional, supportive working environment

• High standards without micromanagement

• Ongoing training and exposure to leading manufacturers

• Clear opportunities to develop your role and skill set

• Recognition and reward as you progress

What We Look For

We’re not just looking for qualifications on paper. We value people who:

• Take pride in their workmanship

• Are reliable, professional and customer-focused

• Work well independently and as part of a team

• Want to improve, learn and progress

• Represent the company properly on site

At Sanders Secure, we don’t just install systems — we build long-term relationships with our customers and our team. Based in Plymouth, we provide professional fire alarm, intruder alarm, CCTV and access control solutions across the South West, working with trusted manufacturers and delivering work we’re genuinely proud of.

As our business continues to grow, we’re always keen to hear from skilled, motivated engineers who want more than just a job. Whether you’re an experienced fire alarm engineer or a multi-discipline engineer looking to develop your skills further, Sanders Secure offers the opportunity to grow alongside a company that values quality, professionalism and people.

Developing the Fire Side of Our Business

Fire alarms are a key part of our future growth. We’re actively investing in developing this side of the business and are looking for engineers who want to be part of that journey.

This makes Sanders Secure an excellent fit for someone who:

• Enjoys working hands-on but wants to grow beyond the tools

• Wants to expand their knowledge and responsibility within fire systems

• Is interested in helping shape how a growing fire division develops

• Values progression, trust and long-term opportunity

As your contribution grows, so does your opportunity — with increased responsibility, training and reward reflecting your development.
