About the role
We're a growing residential block management company looking for a Fire Safety Inspector to join our compliance team. You'll take ownership of fire safety across a diverse portfolio of managed properties, making sure every building meets its statutory obligations under the Fire Safety Order 2005 and the Building Safety Act 2022 – and our own high standards.
This is a hands-on, field-based role with real impact. Your work directly protects residents and shapes how we operate as a business.
We're open to experienced inspectors and to people moving into a dedicated fire safety role from a related background, as long as you have a solid grounding in fire safety principles and a genuine drive to develop.
