Join a Scandinavian engineering and design consultancy as part of a newly developed Building Regulatory service line, delivering Building Regulations Principal Designer and Building Safety Assurance work. This is one of Mattinson Partnership's longest standing clients, they are award‑winning and have an excellent reputation in the market for employee satisfaction and prestigious international project work.

The suitable candidate for this role could come from an architectural background or a building control one, but must effectively be able to manage Building Regulations and Compliance Consultancy Projects for Non‑HRBs. If you are qualified to deliver HRBs then this would be highly desirable and would offer further flexibility in the top end of the budget.

Alongside the project delivery elements of the role, you will be a key figure in developing this new business unit, so will need to have the commercial awareness to feed into team and company targets, whilst helping to recruit, upskill and mentor junior hires.

A clear track record of successful applications and engagement with the Building Safety Regulator is a key focus of this search. Proven experience in building control or in a senior design capacity with a strong background in compliance with Building Regulations and related legislation is essential. In‑depth knowledge of the Building Safety Act 2022 and related legislation is also required.

This is a remote role and can be based anywhere in England. There is an opportunity to work on complex and exciting projects and advance very quickly, due to the fact that this is a newly formed team. For more information contact Dom Jacques on 020 7960 2551.
