We’re recruiting for a Senior Fire Safety Consultant to undertake fire risk assessments in a wide range of premises, including complex and sleeping risk environments. You will support clients with their fire safety requirements by providing practical solutions and expert advice on onsite issues, in line with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the Building Safety Act 2022, relevant Approved Codes of Practice, and current fire safety guidance.

You will also support the Head of Fire Safety through on-site workplace assessments of our consultants, contribute to quality assurance of fire risk assessments, and offer operational resilience when required. Additionally, you may be asked to deliver fire safety training and support clients with general health and safety needs such as workplace inspections and audits.

You’ll have at least five years’ experience conducting Fire Risk Assessments, including in complex and sleeping risk premises, and hold a Level 3 Diploma in Fire Safety or equivalent. You have experience with compartmentation and fire door surveys, and a solid understanding of relevant legislation and guidance including Approved Document B, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and BS 9999/9991.

Accreditation with IFE, IFSM, FRACS, or IFPO is essential. You will be detail‑focused and confident supporting both clients and fellow consultants. Strong communication skills and the ability to work independently and as part of a team are key to success. Regional and national travel is required, so flexibility is a must. While health and safety qualifications and IOSH or IIRSM membership are desirable, they are not essential.

Most importantly, we’re looking for someone who thrives in and actively contributes to our amazing, collaborative team culture.

Work Nest is committed to creating a culture of inclusion and ensuring that all job applicants, clients, colleagues, and anyone else we deal with is treated fairly and with respect. We continuously review our policies and processes to support our aim to create a diverse team.
