With the emphasis on quality over quantity, Osterna residential Fire Risk Assessors benefit from having a work-life balance rarely seen in this sector.

Specialising in the residential housing sector, Osterna's Residential Fire Risk Assessors carry out inspections to a range of property types including traditional residential blocks, sheltered housing, HMO and high-rise (over 18 metres) housing and write up reports with your findings. Completed risk assessments are used by the Property Managers and Directors of the management companies to initiate repairs or any other procedures required, to ensure the residential common areas remain a safe environment.

- A full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle is essential.
- Experience undertaking fire risk assessment work within the residential property sector on High Rise Buildings.
