Things that raise your pay

• Performance-based design

  Proving a building is safe by modelling the fire instead of following the code recipe. The rarest and best paid skill in the field.

  Software that simulates how smoke fills a space, plus evacuation modelling for crowds.

• Sprinkler and suppression design

  Hydraulic calculations for sprinklers, foam and gas systems.

• Forensic fire investigation

  Working out what caused a fire, for insurers or for court.

• Industrial risk

  Refineries, mines and battery plants pay a premium for fire and explosion expertise.
