Witham, Essex (on\-site, with occasional travel ) \| Full\-time, Permanent

*Join a global growth story at its most exciting point*

Reacton is a global leader in automatic fire suppression. Our pre\-engineered systems protect the world's most demanding machines and environments — from mining fleets and heavy plant to buses, marine vessels and critical infrastructure — detecting and extinguishing fires at the source, without power or human intervention.

United Safety \& Survivability Corporation (USSC), a leading entity in the design and manufacture of safety and survivability solutions, recently acquired Reacton Fire Suppression Limited. Reacton's engineering pedigree, manufacturing capability along with the investment of a global organisation — opens the door to further growth into Europe, the Middle East, APAC and the Americas, while strengthening USSC's fire suppression portfolio.

It's a rare chance to join at a genuine inflection point, and for the right IT professional, to a play a key role in shaping the technology landscape across the EMEA region and supporting the group’s next chapter.
