EQS and Compliance Supervisor

Are you an experienced compliance professional with a strong background in electrical supervision? If so, we’d love to hear from you about our Electrical Qualifying Supervisor (EQS) and Compliance Supervisor opportunity at Templer HomeBuild. Keeping our residents and the wider Teignbridge community safe is at the heart of our work in social housing. We’re looking for an Electrical Qualifying Supervisor who understands the critical importance of electrical safety as well as the fire, gas, water hygiene, asbestos and lifting equipment compliance areas.

You’ll bring your electrical expertise to the table whilst supporting the Compliance Manager and Lead Compliance Surveyor in delivering all of these core compliance activities across our planned and reactive workstreams. Whether you’re an EQS looking to broaden your experience into wider compliance management, or an established compliance supervisor with an electrical background, this could be your next step.

In return, we’ll invest in you and your future. At Templer HomeBuild, you’ll join a supportive, open and collaborative environment where you can build your career, and your hard work is recognised. It’s an exciting time to join us as we prepare for the next phase of our valued asset management programme with Teign Housing.

The EQS & Compliance Supervisor role:
