* Conducting on-site inspections to ensure full compliance with the Building Safety Act.
* Supporting resident engagement initiatives around building safety and wellbeing.
* Promoting a strong health & safety culture across the organisation.
What We're Looking For
* At least 1 year's experience in a similar role - ideally within PBSA, Build-to-Rent, or residential property.
* Strong understanding of building safety legislation including the Building Safety Act and RRO 2005.
* Knowledge of Building Safety Cases, MOR reporting, and resident engagement requirements.
* Familiarity with safety management systems and contractor management.
* Collaborative, adaptable, and proactive - someone who's confident influencing teams at all levels.
* A real passion for creating safe, compliant, and welcoming environments.
* Full UK driving licence.
Desirable Qualifications
* NEBOSH or IOSH certification (or working towards it).
* Background in facilities management or property compliance.
* Knowledge of ISO standards (18001, 14001, 9001).
* Membership of IOSH, IFE, FPA, IWFM, or similar professional bodies.
What's in It for You
This business truly values its people - offering a vibrant, supportive culture and a benefits package designed to celebrate success and support your wellbeing, including:
* 33 days annual leave (including bank holidays)
* Discretionary bonus scheme
* Life insurance (4x salary)
* Health cash plan / private medical insurance
* Access to virtual GP and wellbeing initiatives
