We have an opportunity for an experienced individual to support the Building Safety Manager in developing building safety cases and reports and ensuring that all of Newlon’s identified high risk buildings are managed and maintained in accordance with the requirements of the Building Safety Act. You will also co-ordinate inspections and remediation work, update KPI’s specific to building safety and assist in the development of the resident engagement strategy.
With proven experience in a compliance, health and safety-related or housing related service for residential buildings, you will be working towards, or willing to join, membership of a relevant professional body and also working towards, or willing, to undertake a Health and Safety and/or Fire qualification. You will have substantial knowledge of the current housing-related legislation of compliance work streams and contract management, and an understanding of working with high rise residential buildings.
