• Managing project portfolios alongside the lead validator

• Supporting validation, mentoring and development of future assessors

• Working directly with directors to establish standards for the South East team

• Contributing ideas towards bespoke FRA software, action tracking and data analytics

All scheduling and administration is handled centrally, while a competence-based system ensures assessors are allocated appropriate work.

The Fire Risk Assessor

The successful Fire Risk Assessor will ideally have:

• 2+ years’ fire risk assessment experience across residential and/or commercial properties

• A recognised Fire Risk Assessment qualification/course

• Sound technical knowledge of fire risk assessment

• Level 4 FRA qualifications and knowledge of Approved Document B / BS 9999 advantageous

• NFRAR or IFSM registration advantageous – membership can be funded

• Full UK driving licence

• Ambition to develop technically and potentially progress into leadership

In Return?

The Fire Risk Assessor will receive:

£50,000 – £55,000 salary
£150 monthly car allowance + mileage
Regional and project bonus schemes
Profit-related pay rises
Hybrid and flexible working
Fully funded Level 4, 5 & 6 development opportunities
Funded professional memberships and CPD
