Building Safety Consultant - CDM

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're looking for an experienced CDM practitioner to take day-to-day ownership of a portfolio of commissions across the North West. You'll advise clients on their duties under CDM 2015, and support or act on behalf of the Principal Designer through the pre-construction phase.

The projects range from fit-out and refurbishment to new build, across commercial, education, healthcare, residential, industrial and retail. Projects will typically be yours to lead, backed by a senior team and technical peer review. You'll split your time between our Liverpool office, client offices, design team meetings and sites.

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

• Advise clients on their CDM 2015 duties, assess duty holder appointments, and help put proportionate management arrangements in place
• Prepare and maintain F10 notifications for notifiable projects
• Support or act for the Principal Designer: coordinating the design team, chairing design risk workshops, and evidencing how foreseeable risks are designed out or controlled
• Compile and maintain live Pre-Construction Information, and support a smooth handover to the Principal Contractor
• Review Construction Phase Plans, and compile and hand over a Health and Safety File that's genuinely useful
• Carry out site visits where monitoring is in scope, agree corrective actions, and track them to close-out
• Produce clear, well-evidenced reports, audits, advice notes and gap analyses, with auditable project records
• Act as the day-to-day contact on your commissions, manage your own workload, and contribute to fee proposals
• Deliver CDM training and CPD, and mentor graduate and junior consultants

• Experience in a CDM advisory, CDM adviser or Principal Designer support role,…
