Overview

Are you an experienced Registered Building Inspector or Building Control professional looking for your next challenge? We're working with a client who is seeking a Director for Building Safety (Building Control Consultancy) to collaboratively work with architects, buildings and developers to ensure safe, structurally sound and code compliant buildings.

This role is ideal for experienced Registered Building Inspectors or Building Control Professionals, although being an RBI is not essential.

If you're a Registered Building Inspector looking to maintain your RBI classification, this client has the necessary provisions in place to support you. They can provide ongoing projects to help you retain your classification and continue your professional development as needed.

What Makes This Role Stand Out

• You can step into a Director role with the autonomy to grow and develop the area commercially.
• For those keen to maintain their RBI classification, this role offers the best of both worlds.
• Work alongside architects, developers, engineers, and other clients in a collaborative environment.
• Shape processes in a growing, forward-thinking environment.
• No legacy project issues, only fresh and dynamic work.
• Highly flexible role: Mostly remote, with occasional office access depending on your location.
• Salary up to £100k, plus generous bonus and other benefits.

The Role

• Supervise others to perform their duties who are at a lower RBI class or who are graduates under training.
• Assist clients with Building Regulations Consultancy Advice where you will not be acting as the RBCA.
• Interpret and enforce national and local building regulations, including fire safety, energy efficiency, accessibility and environmental requirements.
• Prepare detailed inspection reports, compliance certificates and documentation for regulatory approval processes.
• Maintain accurate records of inspections, findings and recommendations, ensuring traceability and compliance with local authority requirements.

What we're looking for

• Proven experience in Building Control or Building Regulations (e.g., Registered Building Inspector or similar role).
• Director/ Management experience desirable but not essential.
• Ability to work autonomously while contributing and supporting with the larger team vision.
• Strong communication and leadership skills.

Why Step into this role

• A career-defining opportunity to shape a team and have a direct impact on key projects.
• Flexible working arrangements (primarily remote) with occasional office visits.
• RBI certification encouraged but not required as there are provisions in place to maintain RBI certification.

If you're ready to take on a new and rewarding challenge, and you're open to exploring consultancy, let's have a confidential conversation. Even if this role isn't the perfect fit, I'd be happy to discuss other opportunities that align with your career aspirations.
