Divisional Manager - Fire Compliance
A well-established construction business with over 50 years of trading history is seeking an experienced Divisional Manager to lead and grow its Fire Compliance division. Known for its stability and enviable staff retention levels, this is a company where people build long-term careers rather than short stays — a testament to how it treats and invests in its people. This is a rare opportunity to take ownership of a fast-expanding part of the business, shaping its direction, team, and client relationships as it scales.
You'll join a business that combines decades of industry credibility with the agility of an SME — where decisions are made quickly, and your input will genuinely influence strategy, not just delivery. As Divisional Manager, you'll take full responsibility for the performance, growth, and compliance standards of the fire division, acting as the key link between clients, site teams, and senior leadership. Responsibilities include:
- Leading the strategic and operational growth of the fire compliance division
- Acting as the primary client contact, building trust and long-term relationships
- Ensuring all works meet current fire safety, compliance, and regulatory standards
- Managing, motivating, and developing site-based teams to deliver consistent quality
- Maintaining strong practical site awareness, identifying and resolving issues before they escalate
- Supporting business development activity, tendering, and contract negotiations
- Reporting on divisional performance, risk, and compliance to senior management
