The Technical Compliance Specialist plays a vital role in ensuring the integrity, accuracy and credibility of SFG20 technical content. Through impartial review, evidence-based challenge and technical investigation, the role supports the development of SFG20’s dynamic library of maintenance schedules, ensuring they are aligned with current legislation, industry guidance and real-world operational requirements.

- Verify statutory maintenance criticalities and supporting legal justifications and validate that maintenance schedules reflect current legislation, industry standards and recognised best practice.
- Review technical content across multiple disciplines, applying structured research, sound judgement and a willingness to build awareness of unfamiliar specialist areas where needed.
- Bring a commercial, pragmatic and curious approach to technical compliance, supporting constructive stakeholder engagement and helping to drive alignment across internal and external subject matter experts.
- Assess whether supporting technical evidence sufficiently justifies proposed maintenance recommendations.
- Identify gaps, inconsistencies or conflicts within technical content, legislation or supporting guidance.
- Work collaboratively with Technical Authors and subject matter experts to resolve technical queries and compliance challenges.
- Escalate unresolved or technically complex matters through the appropriate governance and specialist review processes.
- Produce clear, structured and defensible compliance review documentation and audit trails.
- Contribute to the development and continual improvement of compliance processes, review methodologies and governance frameworks, including structured systems for tracking compliance reviews, actions, outcomes and audit records as the compliance function evolves.
- Support technical compliance assessments relating to platform developments, operational processes and customer-facing content.
- Stay up to date with legislative, technical and industry developments relevant to maintenance, facilities management and compliance.
- Create and fact-check related content, such as blogs and articles.
- Demonstrate persistence and curiosity in resolving technical ambiguity and conflicting guidance.
