We're delighted to be partnering with a prestigious Higher Education organisation to recruit an experienced Head of Fire Safety.
Reporting to the Director of Health & Safety, you'll lead the fire safety function across a large, complex estate, providing strategic leadership, technical expertise and ensuring compliance with all relevant fire safety legislation.
This is an excellent opportunity to join an organisation where fire safety is already well established. You'll inherit a great team, a strong safety culture and the support of senior leadership, giving you the platform to drive continuous improvement rather than build the function from scratch.
About the Role
You'll lead the Fire Safety Management System and Fire Strategy, oversee the fire risk assessment programme, provide expert advice to senior stakeholders, support major capital projects and manage relationships with enforcing authorities while leading and developing the fire safety team.
About You
Experience leading fire safety across a large, complex or multi-site estate.
Strong knowledge of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order, Fire Safety Act and Building Safety Act.
Experience managing fire risk assessment programmes and providing strategic fire safety advice.
Excellent stakeholder management and leadership skills.
A recognised fire safety qualification and relevant professional membership (or equivalent experience).
Proven experience managing, mentoring and developing technical teams.
If you're looking for a senior leadership role where you can make a real impact within a respected organisation, we'd love to hear from you
