Are you an experienced building safety consultant / principal designer ready to step into a strategic, non-regulatory role with minimal site visits and maximum flexibility?

We’re working with a highly respected consultancy of 25 with an outstanding culture and staff retention. They are looking for a Building Safety Consultant to lead on Building Safety Act and Building Regulations Principal Designer compliance across major commercial, healthcare, education, and residential projects working for some of most recognised names including Kier and Dixons.

This role offers the perfect blend of flexibility, reward, and professional growth. With a remote-first setup and only occasional visits to the Warrington office, it is ideal for those seeking work-life balance. The package is highly competitive - up to £80k depending on experience, plus a car allowance and two annual bonuses (discretionary).

The Building Regulations Department may be a small team, but in its first full year, it has already achieved a remarkable £1 million turnover—just the start of its success. This role offers you the opportunity to play a key part in its continued growth, and if you choose, to establish and lead a team of your own.

You will benefit from fully funded CPD and a supportive, well-established team culture that values long-term development. Best of all, site visits are rare, giving you the freedom to focus on what you do best without constant travel.

Responsibilities:

• Advising clients and design teams on compliance and procedural changes
• Overseeing project delivery and ensuring regulatory alignment
• Supporting internal policy development and mentoring junior staff
• Collaborating with Building Control partners and contributing to strategic planning

The Person:

• Experience in Building Regulations or a related field
