About you

You will be an experienced fire safety professional with a strong background in residential environments, ideally within social housing, local authority housing or a similarly complex setting.

You’ll bring:

  * Significant experience managing fire safety compliance across occupied residential buildings

  * Strong knowledge of fire safety legislation, including the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order, Fire Safety Act, Fire Safety (England) Regulations and Building Safety Act requirements

  * Experience overseeing fire risk assessments, fire door programmes and passive fire protection works

  * A practical, risk-based approach with a passion for improving safety standard

  * A relevant fire safety qualification (Level 4 or above, or equivalent professional competence) and evidence of continued professional development are essential.

Why this opportunity?
