Closing: Midnight, 19th August
Are you detail-oriented and passionate about delivering excellent customer service while keeping buildings safe and compliant?
Do you enjoy working with people face-to-face and have the confidence to handle challenging situations and resolve customer concerns calmly and professionally?
We're looking for a Compliance Inspector to join our Building Safety team, ensuring our properties are fully compliant with landlord health and safety legislation and statutory duties. This is a hands-on role with opportunities to make a real impact on building safety and customer wellbeing.
This is a varied and dynamic opportunity where you'll travel across a locality to carry out safety inspections of fire doors and detection equipment. You'll support the team with other compliance checks, log repairs, provide on-site technical expertise, and assist with accident and insurance investigations, as well as fire risk actions.
A significant aspect of the role is engaging with residents and customers, explaining compliance requirements, and providing reassurance and support. If you are passionate about helping people and delivering excellent customer service, you will thrive in this role.
What we're looking for:
- Experience in a customer-facing role, with the confidence to handle challenging situations and resolve customer concerns calmly and professionally.
- Some knowledge or experience of compliance requirements and inspections, with the ability to learn and develop technical knowledge.
- Strong communication skills, with a professional, approachable, and solution-focused manner.
- Reliable, proactive, and quick to learn new concepts.
- Accurate and detail-oriented, with the ability to report findings and information effectively.
- Able to work independently, manage competing priorities, and meet deadlines.
- Organised, adaptable, and confident using electronic systems.
- Experience in Housing, Asset Management, or Building Safety is desirable. Technical knowledge of fire safety would be an advantage, but training will be provided to develop your knowledge further.
