Osterna, part of RMG and Places for People Group, is looking for an experienced Residential Fire Risk Assessor to join a proactive and highly successful team of Health & Safety Professionals.
With a positive work/life balance, you will be home-based when not undertaking site visits. You will typically complete up to 10 site visits a week (Monday to Friday). Although we are seeking an assessor based in the South of England, national travel will be required.
What's our USP?
With the emphasis on quality over quantity, Osterna residential Fire Risk Assessors benefit from a work-life balance rarely seen in this sector.
You will have the flexibility to choose which days you're out and about and which days you work from home, when you will complete your report writing. Risk assessment reports will, in most cases, be confined to the common internal and external areas for residential developments.
What does the role involve?
Specialising in the residential housing sector, Osterna's Residential Fire Risk Assessors carry out inspections of various property types including traditional residential blocks, sheltered housing, HMO, and high-rise (over 18 metres) housing, and write reports with your findings.
Completed risk assessments are used by Property Managers and Directors of management companies to initiate repairs or other procedures to ensure the residential common areas remain safe.

* A full UK driving license and access to a vehicle are essential
* Experience undertaking fire risk assessment work within the residential property sector on high-rise buildings
* NEBOSH National Certificate in Fire Safety and Level 3 NEBOSH National General Certificate
* Experience of conducting suitable and sufficient Health and Safety and Type 1 and Type 3 Fire Risk Assessments (HSFRA), and Compartmentation Surveys
* Accuracy and attention to detail in reports, with comprehensive knowledge of current Health and Safety legislation and its application to property management
* Knowledge of The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and local government guidance applicable to our sector
* LaCORS experience is desirable but not essential; training will be provided.
Benefits for the Fire Risk Assessor role:
* Salary of £42,400
