We are seeking a Fire Safety Manager to provide senior leadership and technical expertise across fire safety and building safety functions within a complex housing portfolio. This is a strategic position with responsibility for shaping long‑term fire safety strategy, strengthening governance, and ensuring full alignment with evolving legislation and regulatory expectations.

You will play a key role in developing Building Safety Case Reports, embedding the “Golden Thread” of information, and acting as a principal point of contact with regulators. Working alongside senior stakeholders, you will drive organisational change, redesign operating models, and enhance risk‑based decision making across fire and building safety.

  * Conduct full gap analysis across fire safety functions, identifying risks and developing best‑practice operating models.

  * Define long‑term fire safety strategy, including fire engineering support, FRA programmes and technical requirements.

  * Redesign and enhance Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) processes and follow‑on actions to improve performance and oversight.

  * Strengthen data reporting, analytics and visibility to support risk‑based decision making.

  * Lead procurement of fire safety contractors, consultants and specialist systems.

  * Provide high‑level technical advice on fire risks and regulatory compliance across the portfolio.

  * Act as a key liaison with regulators and external stakeholders on fire safety matters.

  * Line manage fire safety staff and support organisational capability building.

What We’re Looking For:

  * Proven strategic leadership experience within fire safety or building safety environments.

  * Strong experience developing governance frameworks, operating models, and safety case systems.

  * Extensive experience conducting audits, gap analysis, and assurance reviews.

  * In‑depth technical knowledge of fire safety legislation, FRA methodologies, and building regulations.

  * Ability to translate complex technical information into strategic planning and actionable outcomes.

  * Experience working within housing, local authority, or large‑scale property portfolios.

  * Strong stakeholder management skills with experience engaging regulators and senior leaders.

Qualifications Required:

  * Professional membership such as MIFireE, FIFireE, or MIFSM (or equivalent).

  * Recognised fire risk assessment accreditation (e.g. FRACS, BAFE SP205 or equivalent).

  * Strong knowledge of relevant legislation including the Building Safety Act, Fire Safety Order, PAS standards and British Standards.

Additional Information:

  * Hybrid working with site visits as required

  * Opportunity to lead strategic transformation across fire and building safety
