At Complii, we are on the lookout for a Head of Passive Fire Compliance & Quality to provide technical leadership, governance, and assurance across all passive fire activities within the Group. This role focuses on ensuring the highest standards of compliance, quality, and technical excellence are consistently delivered across our passive fire businesses, covering fire doors, compartmentation, fire stopping, and structural fire protection.

If you enjoy driving quality improvements, strengthening governance frameworks, and acting as the technical authority within a growing and ambitious organisation, this is a role where your expertise will have a significant impact across the business. You will play a critical role in protecting the integrity of our passive fire operations and supporting the continued growth of the Group. From day one, the priority is strengthening technical governance, enhancing quality assurance processes, improving consistency of delivery, and ensuring compliance risks are effectively identified, managed, and controlled.

What you receive for joining us: We believe in rewarding expertise and accountability, which is why we offer a competitive salary, performance-related bonus, and car allowance. This includes 25 days’ holiday plus bank holidays, an additional day off for your birthday, a collaborative and supportive working environment, and the opportunity to work closely with senior leaders who value technical excellence, continuous improvement, and high standards of delivery.

Here is a look at some of the things you will be doing:

• Acting as the Group technical authority for passive fire protection, providing guidance and oversight across fire doors, compartmentation, fire stopping, and structural fire protection activities.
• Developing and maintaining technical standards, quality assurance frameworks, audit programmes, and governance processes to ensure compliance across all passive fire businesses.
• Leading technical audits, inspections, compliance reviews, and certification activities, whilst managing relationships with FIRAS, BM TRADA, IFC, and other accreditation bodies.
• Supporting operational teams through technical guidance, competency development, risk management, investigations, and Board-level reporting on quality, compliance, and technical performance.

Can you show experience in some of these areas:

• Proven experience within passive fire protection, including fire stopping, compartmentation, fire door compliance, and wider passive fire risk management.
• Strong understanding of UK fire safety legislation, Building Regulations, the Building Safety Act, certification schemes, and industry best practice standards.
• Experience conducting technical audits, quality assurance inspections, compliance reviews, and managing third-party accreditation requirements.
• A proactive and influential leadership style, with the ability to challenge standards, drive continuous improvement, and communicate effectively with operational teams and senior stakeholders.

If you feel you have the skills and drive to make an impact, even if you don’t meet every requirement above, we’d still love to hear from you.
