What we are looking for

Essential

• Level 4 or Level 5 fire safety or fire risk assessment qualification, or equivalent qualification, registration, or demonstrable competence.
• Intermediate or Advanced level competence in line with BS 8674, or clear evidence of progression towards this level.
• Demonstrable fire safety consultancy or Fire Risk Assessment experience in premises appropriate to your level of competence.
• Good working knowledge of UK fire safety legislation, recognised guidance, relevant British Standards, and good industry practice.
• Strong written report-writing skills, with the ability to produce clear findings, realistic recommendations, and proportionate action plans.
• Confident verbal communication skills and the ability to explain technical matters to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Strong organisational and time-management skills, with the ability to manage multiple projects and priorities while maintaining quality and meeting client expectations.
• Proficiency in Microsoft 365, including Word, Excel, SharePoint, and related collaboration tools, together with an openness to using appropriate digital and AI-enabled tools in accordance with company policies and client confidentiality requirements.

Desirable

• Experience in construction, refurbishment, infrastructure, or live-site environments.
• Professional membership or registration with a relevant body, such as the IFE, IFSM, or a recognised fire risk assessor register.

• A visible role within a growing consultancy where your contribution can directly influence how services are developed and delivered.
