Engineers of Tomorrow

IFSEC & FIREX Engineers of Tomorrow 2022 finalists revealed!

The IFSEC and FIREX Engineers of Tomorrow competition, due to take place on the show floor between 17-19 May 2022 at London’s ExCeL, had over 100 entrants to this year’s process from across the UK. The stakeholders are delighted to reveal the 2022 finalists, who will battle it out live at IFSEC and FIREX, showcasing the next generation of engineering talent to thousands of industry professionals each day. 

Engineers of Tomorrow helps to raise the profile of engineering apprenticeships and the opportunities they represent within the sector. Taking place at IFSEC and FIREX International each year, winners of regional heats compete in a live installation challenge at the show. The process involves two separate competitions – one for electronic security systems, and the other for fire systems.

This year, the competition had well over 100 registrations, with each applicant taking a knowledge-based online assessment, all of which have now been marked to decide the final 33 competitors – 16 for security, and 17 for fire. All entrants must be on one of the relevant training schemes with a training provider:

  • England: Fire emergency and security systems apprenticeship level 3
  • Scotland: Modern apprenticeship in electronic security systems level 3
  • Northern Ireland: Electronic fire and security apprenticeship level 3
  • Wales: Fire, Emergency and Security Apprenticeship level 3
