You will be able to demonstrate:

  • Significant experience managing fire safety in social housing or a similarly regulated, complex built-environment setting, including Higher-Risk Buildings.

  • Strong working knowledge of fire and building safety legislation, with experience applying it proportionately in operational settings.

  • Proven experience leading and assuring Fire Risk Assessments, inspections, and remedial compliance programmes to completion.

  • The ability to provide robust technical challenge and clear assurance reporting, engaging confidently with senior leaders, contractors, and regulators.

Essential Qualifications:

  • Recognised fire safety qualification (e.g. NEBOSH Fire Certificate, Level 4 Fire Risk Assessment, or equivalent).
  • Professional membership of a relevant body (IFE, IFSM) or working towards membership.
