Fire Safety Surveyor in London

We are excited to be partnering with a leading housing provider to recruit a Fire Safety Surveyor on a 12-month contract. This 12-month fixed-term contract has been created to support a defined programme of fire safety remediation and compliance activity across the portfolio.

You will work closely with contractors and internal stakeholders to deliver robust fire safety solutions, from active fire systems through to passive measures such as fire doors and compartmentation. While the role is offered on a fixed-term basis, the organisation has a strong track record of retaining high-performing contractors.

Key responsibilities of the Fire Safety Surveyor include:

• Reviewing Fire Risk Assessments and translating findings into clear, prioritised remedial actions, ensuring works are proportionate, risk-based, and aligned with current guidance.
• Acting as a technical point of reference for internal teams, contractors, and consultants, providing expert advice on fire safety standards, specifications, and best practice.
• Overseeing and inspecting fire safety works delivered by contractors, including fire alarms, AOV systems, fire doors, compartmentation, and asbestos re-inspection programmes.
• Managing fire safety contracts and programmes of work, monitoring quality, progress, and compliance against agreed specifications, budgets, and delivery timescales.
• Taking ownership of compliance performance, challenging poor practice, escalating risk, and ensuring corrective action where standards are not met.

The successful Fire Safety Surveyor will have:

• Demonstrable experience in fire safety or building surveying, including specifying and overseeing remedial works arising from Fire Risk Assessments.
• A recognised fire safety qualification such as NEBOSH Fire or a Level 4 Fire Safety Diploma (or equivalent).
• Professional membership with the Institute of Fire Engineers (IFE), or a willingness to work towards membership.
• Up-to-date knowledge of building repairs, construction methods, and relevant fire safety and building safety legislation.
• The ability to manage budgets and programmes of work, operating autonomously across a regional patch while collaborating effectively with internal stakeholders.

This is an outstanding opportunity for a fire safety professional to make a tangible impact within a nationally recognised organisation consistently ranked as a great place to work in the UK.
