OFR Consultants is an independent fire engineering business established in 2016, with the sole aim of delivering high-quality advice across all building project stages. With delivery hubs in seven UK cities, OFR Consultants has grown organically, boasting over 100 permanent staff who are committed to serving clients from project conception, through to planning, design, construction, operation and even legacy dispute resolution. The company is renowned for developing solutions for a diverse range of clientele, from the headquarters of the world’s largest organisations to local boutique projects and pro-bono charity work.

The company is deeply committed to the wellbeing and development of its employees, with a culture that values inclusivity and personal growth. The Enterprise Management Incentive provides colleagues the opportunity to become part of an employee share scheme, thereby contributing to the strategic direction of the company.

OFR Consultant's commitment to a more inclusive workplace and personal development is palpable. The company encourages a culture of "harmonious discord", where even the newest recruit is free to challenge the founders on technical matters. This, coupled with a proactive approach to social interaction and team building, makes OFR Consultants a standout organisation in its field.

The company's transition to collaborative online communication tools has proven effective, allowing for seamless remote work. However, the value of face-to-face interaction isn't lost on OFR Consultants. The company organises numerous social activities throughout the year, fostering a sense of community and camaraderie among employees.

My team is fun to work with

OFR Consultants has always been an agile team and flexible in delivery. The team all got together for a few days at Rookery Hall for an away day. The organisation believes that while it is a team that can deliver remotely, the bonds formed when everyone meets together, are what make that possible.
