Housing & Technical Resources have an exciting opportunity for a highly motivated and experienced individual to undertake the role of Services Compliance Officer, with a focus on commercial heating systems and gas compliance, supporting the Council’s Non-Housing general service portfolio of properties.

The successful candidate will be responsible for ensuring statutory and regulatory compliance across all gas and heating assets, contributing to the effective delivery of maintenance, servicing programmes, inspections, and capital projects.

You will hold an SVQ Level 3 (or equivalent) in a relevant discipline and be time-served within a commercial heating/gas environment, with demonstrable experience in gas safety compliance. Relevant certifications (e.g. Commercial gas qualifications) are highly desirable.

You must have sound knowledge and practical experience of commercial heating systems, gas installations, servicing regimes, and current gas safety legislation, including compliance frameworks such as Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations. Experience in building maintenance, technical standards, and compliance auditing is desirable.

The role requires experience of working within a multi-disciplinary environment, including coordinating and monitoring contractors and/or in-house operatives, ensuring work is carried out safely, efficiently, and in line with statutory requirements. Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage and prioritise workloads, programmes, and compliance schedules are essential.

Service delivery is paramount; therefore, you should demonstrate a strong commitment to customer care, continuous improvement, and achieving performance targets within strict timescales. A proactive approach to health and safety and risk management is critical to the role.

Effective communication is key. You will possess strong IT skills, with the ability to produce compliance reports, analyse performance data, and maintain accurate records. You should also demonstrate excellent leadership, interpersonal and stakeholder management skills, working collaboratively with internal teams, contractors, and external agencies.

You will have proven experience of working to set budgets, targets, and deadlines, alongside the ability to plan, programme, and deliver statutory inspection and maintenance regimes for gas and heating systems.
