Job description

Looking to step into a role where your technical expertise, people–first mindset, and passion for safety come together to make a real impact?

This organisation is proud to manage some of Manchester's most exciting high–rise and mixed–use residential developments, and we're looking for a Building Safety Manager to lead the way in creating safer, more compliant, and more connected communities.

About the Role

This is your chance to take ownership of building safety across a diverse and growing portfolio. Reporting to the Operations Lead and working closely with property managers, residents, freeholders, and the Building Safety Regulator, you'll collaborate with trusted internal and external experts to ensure compliance and foster a culture of safety across the business.

Your work will be vital in ensuring these buildings and their residents are protected, informed, and heard.

What You'll Be Doing

• Create and maintain Building Safety Cases and submit Safety Case Reports to the BSR.
• Work directly with freeholders, residents, and the Regulator of Building Safety.
• Lead compliance efforts under the Building Safety Act, Fire Safety (England) Regulations, and RRFSO.
• Support the Property Management team to ensure proper documentation of property safety and compliance.
• Train and upskill colleagues, championing a safety–first mindset throughout the business.
• Continuously review and improve internal safety procedures and policies.

Why You'll Love This Role

• A close–knit, friendly team with genuine people doing great work.
• Monthly lunches from Pie Minister, wood–fired pizza, Chinese buffet, alongside learning and development events.
• Quarterly socials, like The Cube–style team–building fun.
• 25 days holiday plus bank holidays and a birthday off.
• Buy/sell holiday options and an enhanced pension scheme.
• Pool car for site visits—no car needed.
• Clear path to grow and shape your role in a company that truly listens.

What You Bring

• An understanding of fire or building safety in a residential property setting.
• Knowledge of the Building Safety Act 2022, Fire Safety Act, and regulatory framework.
• An understanding of Safety Case preparation, submission, and engagement.
• A relevant safety or property management qualification (NEBOSH, CIOB, IRPM, or IFE, etc.).
• The ability to advise senior leaders and support residents alike.

This role doesn't come around often. You'll be empowered to lead, trusted to deliver, and supported by a team that shares your values, alongside a network of talented external consultancies.
