Are you a Building Safety Manager looking for a long-term, stable role where you can lead others, grow, and make a genuine difference?

Do you want to be part of an organisation that gives you the support, structure, progression opportunities and autonomy to excel in your career?

On offer is a role with outstanding benefits, genuine career stability & progression, and the opportunity to step into a trusted leadership position where your work directly improves safety and confidence for residents across London. You'll join a values-led team that supports development, encourages specialist leadership, and gives you the autonomy to deliver at a high standard.

This organisation is widely recognised for investing in its people and creating clear pathways for growth. They offer a supportive, purpose-driven environment, opportunities to lead on specialist workstreams (e.g. structural safety, resident engagement, inspections, safety case programme), access to mentors, and flexible/agile working options (including compressed hours).

In this role, you'll own a patch of higher-risk buildings, lead monthly building-safety inspections, produce and submit Safety Case Reports for Building Assessment Certificate applications, and manage responses to the regulator's RFIs. You'll line-manage two Assistant Managers, coordinate consultants and contractors, and drive resident-engagement plans that are building-specific (not generic) and delivered at scale.

The ideal candidate brings current, hands-on Building Safety Management experience with a strong grasp of the Building Safety Act, Safety Case Reports, hazard/risk assessment (fire & structural), and resident engagement. You'll be confident leading people. A Level 6 in Building Safety Management is strongly preferred (Level 4+ considered).

This is a fantastic opportunity for a Building Safety professional who wants leadership, progression, and visible impact - while enjoying one of the strongest benefits packages in the sector.

The Role

• Lead operational building-safety activity for an allocated patch of HRBs
• Produce Safety Case Files/Reports and submit Building Assessment Certificate applications
• Line-manage and mentor two Assistant Managers; champion a specialist workstream (e.g. structural safety, resident engagement, inspections)
• Drive building-specific resident-engagement plans and maintain the golden thread of information and compliance

The Person

• Experienced Building Safety Manager (or someone who wants to step-up to management with proven Safety Case Report experience) within housing/property/compliance
• Strong knowledge of the Building Safety Act, hazard assessments (fire & structural), and resident engagement requirements
• Confident people leader - able to coach, set standards and influence stakeholders and contractors
• Desirable: Level 6 Building Safety Management (Level 4+ minimum)
