- Coordinate fire risk assessments, compartmentation surveys, intrusive inspections, and compliance audits, ensuring recommendations are actioned.
- Manage the onboarding and performance of specialist subcontractors and suppliers, ensuring works are delivered safely, on time, and to strict compliance standards.
- Act as the primary point of contact for fire safety works, liaising with Trust representatives, Estates/Facilities teams, and senior management within the delivery organisation.

- Prepare project documentation, risk registers, compliance reports, and board-level updates.
- Drive a culture of safety, assurance, and quality across all project stages, from survey and design through to handover and certification.
Key Skills & Experience
- Proven track record in fire compliance, fire safety, or project management roles, ideally within healthcare, public sector estates, or other complex occupied environments.
- Strong understanding of both active and passive fire protection systems and how they integrate into building safety strategies.
- Experience delivering projects in live, sensitive environments (healthcare, education, or government facilities preferred).
- Good knowledge of relevant regulations and standards (HTM, Building Regs, Firecode, BS/EN standards).
- Demonstrable ability to manage multiple subcontractors, coordinate surveys and risk assessments, and ensure compliance from concept to completion.
- Excellent stakeholder engagement, communication, and reporting skills, with the ability to influence at senior level.
- Qualifications such as NEBOSH Fire, IFE membership, IFSM, IFPO, Fire Door Inspection Scheme (FDIS), or equivalent are highly desirable.
What's On Offer
- Competitive salary in the region of £50k - £55k plus car or car allowance, pension, and benefits.
