Building Safety Consultant - CDM

Department: Operations
- Field Based

Employment Type: Full Time

Location: Liverpool
- Hybrid

Compensation: Competitive

P4 isn't your typical safety consultancy. We exist to bring clarity, pace and real-world support to an industry often bogged down in red tape and vague advice. We work with clients, design teams and contractors across the UK from offices in Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds and London.

We talk like real people. We are not here to impress with jargon or hide behind processes — we are here to help clients make smart decisions, avoid risk and deliver safer, better buildings. Our Building Safety Act team is growing, and this role is central to that growth.

We recognise that every person is unique, and we work hard to build a culture where everyone can be themselves. Whether that means flexibility around individual needs or simply making sure people have someone to talk to when they need it, we want everyone here to feel welcome, heard and valued.

We are looking for an experienced CDM practitioner to take day-to-day ownership of a portfolio of commissions across the North West — advising clients on their duties under CDM 2015 and supporting or acting on behalf of the Principal Designer through the pre-construction phase.

You will work across a varied project mix, from fit-out and refurbishment to new build, and across sectors including commercial, education, healthcare, residential, industrial and retail. Projects will typically be yours to lead, with the backing of a senior team and technical peer review. Expect to spend your time between the Liverpool office, client offices, design team meetings and project sites.

This is a role for someone who wants to influence outcomes rather than record them: challenging design decisions, asking the awkward questions early, and giving clients advice they can actually act on.

• Advise commercial, public sector and residential clients on their duties under CDM 2015, making sure they
• understand what is required of them and are supported to discharge it.
• Assess the suitability of proposed duty holder appointments, and advise clients on the skills, knowledge,
• experience and organisational capability of designers and contractors.
• Help clients put proportionate management arrangements in place at project inception, and review through
• the life of the project that those arrangements remain suitable and are being maintained.
• Prepare and submit F10 notifications for notifiable projects, and keep notifications current where project
• particulars change.

• Support, or act on behalf of, the appointed Principal Designer in planning, managing and monitoring the preconstruction phase.
• Coordinate health and safety matters across the design team, ensuring designers cooperate with one another
• and share the information needed to do their jobs safely.
• Facilitate and chair design risk management workshops; interrogate design proposals and evidence how
• significant foreseeable risks have been eliminated, reduced or controlled through design.
• Compile, issue and maintain the Pre-Construction Information, keeping it live and proportionate as the
• design develops rather than issuing it once and filing it.
• Liaise with the Principal Contractor, providing the information they need for the construction phase and
• supporting an orderly pre-construction to construction phase handover.
• Identify where duty holders are not meeting their obligations, and elevate clearly and constructively

• Review Construction Phase Plans for suitability and adequacy before work starts on site, and re-review at key
• stages.
• Compile, review and hand over the Health and Safety…
