We’re seeking a Building Safety Compliance Manager to help strengthen the safety, quality and compliance of a diverse portfolio of Higher-Risk Buildings (HRBs) across design, construction and occupation.

This is a key role for someone with a deep understanding of the Building Safety Act, a commitment to the Golden Thread, and the ability to drive best practice across multiple stakeholders. If you want to be part of a team shaping the future of building safety in social housing—this is an opportunity not to miss.

The Role

You’ll work as part of a specialist Building Safety team responsible for ensuring our HRBs meet the highest standards of compliance throughout their lifecycle. Day-to-day, you will:

• Lead the handover and registration process for new-build HRBs, ensuring all required information is collated for the Building Safety Regulator.

• Maintain and enhance the Golden Thread of Information, ensuring accurate, accessible, real-time data across all HRBs.
• Work with consultants, project teams, and operational colleagues to embed robust building safety processes and transparent governance.
• Champion quality assurance, regulatory compliance, and consistent building safety standards across the organisation.
• Provide technical advice and clear communication to internal teams, external partners, and residents where required.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong working knowledge of the Building Safety Act 2022, HRB requirements, and associated regulatory guidance.
• Proven experience managing building safety or compliance within housing, construction, fire safety, or a related technical field.
• A solid understanding of design, construction, and occupation-stage safety requirements for residential buildings.
• Analytical and highly organised, with excellent attention to detail and the ability to manage large volumes of technical information.
• Clear, confident communicator able to translate complex legislation into practical, operational steps.
• Skilled in information / document management tools (e.g., SharePoint or similar platforms).

Experience working on Big 6 housing portfolios or across multiple HRB schemes at design and construction stage is highly desirable.

Benefits

• 26 days annual leave + bank holidays
• Volunteering days
• Flexible benefits package including family-friendly options and retail discounts
• Salary life assurance
• Up to 12% pension contribution
• Hybrid working with a minimum of 2 days in the office
