About our client
Our client is a well-established Health & Safety business with a strong reputation in the residential property sector. They're growing their fire safety team and looking for an experienced Fire Risk Assessor to join them on a permanent basis.
The role
You'll specialise in fire risk assessment across a wide range of residential property types, working with property managers and client stakeholders to keep residential common areas safe and compliant. You'll be home-based when you're not on site, with a typical week made up of site visits Monday to Friday and occasional nationwide travel.
What you'll be doing
- Conducting Type 1 and Type 3 Fire Risk Assessments across residential developments, including purpose-built blocks, converted buildings, sheltered housing, HMOs and high-rise buildings.
- Undertaking compartmentation surveys and identifying areas needing remedial action.
- Writing up clear, accurate fire risk assessment reports in line with current legislation and sector best practice.
- Providing practical, proportionate recommendations that property managers can actually act on.
- Liaising with stakeholders to clarify findings and advise on next steps.
- Keeping your knowledge of fire safety legislation and guidance up to date.
Skills and experience
Essential:
- Proven experience delivering Fire Risk Assessments within the residential property sector, including high-rise buildings.
- NEBOSH National Certificate in Fire Safety.
- NEBOSH Level 3 National General Certificate.
- Experience with Type 1 and Type 3 FRAs and compartmentation surveys.
- Strong knowledge of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
- Full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle.
Desirable:
- Knowledge of LaCORS guidance (training provided if not).
Why join them
You'll get a genuinely flexible, home-based working setup with real autonomy over how you manage your week. There's a strong benefits package on offer, including generous annual leave, healthcare cashback cover, a matched pension, and support for further professional qualifications. It's a business that backs work/life balance rather than just talking about it.
