Hybrid Working | Excellent Career Development
There are plenty of Fire Risk Assessor roles on the market. Very few offer the chance to join a growing consultancy where fire safety is a respected and expanding service line, your work is genuinely valued and your development is actively supported.
Our client is a well-established multidisciplinary property consultancy founded over two decades ago, providing building surveying, asset management, project management, health and safety, sustainability, and fire safety services to clients across the public sector. Their client base includes social housing providers, education and healthcare organisations, with a strong reputation for delivering practical, high-quality advice and building long-term client relationships.
Due to continued growth and a strong pipeline of work, they are looking to appoint a Fire Risk Assessor to join their expanding North East team.
You will join a close-knit team of four Fire Risk Assessors, led by an experienced Director who takes a hands-on approach to mentoring and development. Whether you are an established assessor or someone with a solid Level 3 qualification and the drive to progress, the business is known for investing in people who show initiative, curiosity and ambition.
The workload is already in place, the team is growing, and there is a clear commitment to helping staff develop their technical capability and work towards chartered or higher professional status.
This is a hybrid position with a flexible working pattern combining site visits, office collaboration and home working.
Key Responsibilities
* Conduct Fire Risk Assessments in accordance with current legislation and guidance
* Undertake compartmentation surveys and fire door inspections
* Produce clear, practical and technically robust reports
* Provide expert advice under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, Fire Safety Act 2021 and Building Safety Act
* Advise clients on remedial actions and compliance strategies
* Support and mentor less experienced colleagues
* Contribute to in-house training and technical development sessions
* Build and maintain strong client relationships
Head Office: Newcastle upon Tyne
Candidates should be based within reasonable commuting distance of Newcastle, as proximity to the North East client base is an important consideration.
Who We’re Looking For
This opportunity is ideal for a Fire Risk Assessor who enjoys residential work, wants to broaden their technical expertise in areas such as fire doors and compartmentation, and values working in a consultancy where development is taken seriously.
It would particularly suit someone who is ambitious, technically curious and motivated by the prospect of growing with a business that has a strong reputation and a healthy workload.
