Building Safety Coordinator
London (with travel to London sites)
£35,000 – £45,000 + benefits
A well-established residential property operator is seeking a Building Safety Coordinator to join its growing Property Services team, supporting compliance across a London-based portfolio of residential and mixed-use buildings, including higher-risk properties.
This role offers strong exposure to building safety systems, safety case support and day-to-day operational compliance, within a structured and supportive in-house team.
It is well suited to someone who enjoys detail, accountability and working closely with site and facilities teams — and who wants to deepen their career in building safety rather than remain in a purely administrative or reactive role.
The Role
Working closely with the Building Safety Manager, Regional Facilities Managers and on-site teams, you will support duty holders in meeting their legal responsibilities and maintaining robust, auditable compliance across the portfolio.
Key responsibilities include:
* Supporting compliance with the Building Safety Act, RRFSO, FSER and related legislation
* Maintaining accurate records of safety assessments, inspections and contractor works
* Monitoring and quality-checking data within the risk and compliance system (FRA, GRA, WRA, EICR, LOLER, etc.)
* Producing regular compliance and performance reports for senior stakeholders
* Supporting the development and maintenance of safety cases for Higher-Risk Buildings
* Coordinating resident engagement related to building safety matters
* Supporting responses to resident safety enquiries and complaints
* Monitoring contractor and consultant performance and documentation uploads
* Administering permit-to-work systems and escalating any non-compliance
* Maintaining trackers for remedial and improvement works
* Supporting training coordination and competency records for operational teams
* Visiting sites regularly (typically at least weekly) to understand layouts, risks and safety systems
* You will be based from a central London office (Bayswater) with regular travel to sites across London.
This Role Would Suit Someone Who:
* Currently works in facilities, property compliance, fire safety or building safety coordination
* Enjoys working with systems, records and evidence — and takes pride in things being done properly
* Wants to develop deeper technical exposure to building safety and higher-risk buildings
* Is confident engaging with site teams, contractors and consultants
* Is looking for a stable in-house role with clear structure and support
About You
Essential:
* Technical awareness of building safety and fire safety legislation
* Experience using CAFM, compliance or risk management systems
* Knowledge of SFG20 standards in a residential setting
* Strong Microsoft Office skills and confidence with data and reporting
* Experience with records management and compliance tracking
* Strong communication and relationship-building skills
* Excellent attention to detail and ability to manage multiple deadlines
* Willingness to travel to London sites as required
Desirable:
* NEBOSH Fire Safety Certificate (or equivalent)
* Membership of IWFM, IOSH, IFSM, CIOB, TPI or similar
* Experience supporting high-rise or higher-risk residential buildings
* Understanding of passive and active fire safety systems
* Experience working with contractors and supporting compliance audits
What You’ll Gain
Exposure to higher-risk building compliance and safety case development
Close working relationship with experienced building safety and FM professionals
Opportunity to build long-term technical expertise in a growing safety function
In-house stability rather than consultancy or short-term contracts
