- Survey, specify, procure and deliver fire safety works identified through fire risk assessments, ensuring recommendations are interpreted and implemented in a compliant and effective way.
- Manage designated fire safety work programmes, making sure they are delivered in line with regulations, KPIs, codes of conduct, budgets and agreed time scales.
- Oversee contractors and operational contracts, building positive working relationships and supporting high-quality, value-for-money delivery.
- Ensure workstreams and contracts meet relevant building regulations, local authority planning requirements and CDM responsibilities.
- Provide fire safety advice in customers’ homes through the relevant F11 process, while supporting colleagues to confidently follow the same approach.
