Job Description:

Osterna, part of RMG and Places for People Group, is looking for an experienced Residential Fire Risk Assessor to join a proactive and highly successful team of Health & Safety Professionals.

With a positive work/life balance, you will be home-based when not undertaking site visits. You will typically complete up to 10 site visits a week (Monday to Friday). Although we are seeking an assessor based in the South of England, national travel will be required.

What's our USP?

With the emphasis on quality over quantity, Osterna residential Fire Risk Assessors benefit from a work-life balance rarely seen in this sector.

You will have the flexibility to choose which days you're out and about and which days you work from home, when you will complete your report writing. Risk assessment reports will often be confined to common internal and external areas for residential developments.

What does the role involve?

Specialising in the residential housing sector, Osterna's Residential Fire Risk Assessors carry out inspections of various property types including traditional residential blocks, sheltered housing, HMO, and high-rise (over 18 meters) housing, and write reports with your findings.

Completed risk assessments are used by Property Managers and Directors to initiate repairs or procedures to ensure the safety of residential common areas.

What knowledge, skills, and experience are required?

• A full UK driving license and access to a vehicle is essential
• Experience in fire risk assessment within the residential property sector, especially on high-rise buildings
• NEBOSH National Certificate in Fire Safety and Level 3 NEBOSH National General Certificate
• Experience with Health and Safety assessments, Type 1 and Type 3 Fire Risk Assessments (HSFRA), and Compartmentation Surveys
• Attention to detail and accuracy in reports, with comprehensive knowledge of current legislation
• Knowledge of The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and local government guidance
• LaCORS experience is a plus but not essential; training will be provided.

Benefits:

• Salary of £42,400
• Car allowance of £4,320
• 27 days holiday + Bank holidays
• Company-funded qualifications and CPD
• Life Assurance x 4
• Healthcare cashback plan
• Company discount portal
• And more...
