L&Q is continuing to invest in the future of building safety and is expanding our Operational Building Safety Team within the Property and Investment Directorate. We're excited to be recruiting a Building Safety Manager to play a vital role in protecting our residents and strengthening safety standards across our homes.

This is a high-profile and influential role where you'll work closely with Lead Building Safety Managers, the Head of Service, and the Director of Building Compliance, as well as partnering with the Strategic Building Safety Team to deliver meaningful, organisation-wide impact. You'll also take on line management responsibility for a dedicated team of Assistant Building Safety Managers, leading, developing, and inspiring them to perform at their best.

If you're passionate about building safety, motivated by making a real difference, and ready to help shape a growing service, this is an excellent opportunity to progress your career with a purpose-driven organisation.

Your impact in the role:

As a Building Safety Manager, you will take ownership of the safety and compliance of a defined portfolio of buildings, playing a crucial role in safeguarding our residents and ensuring our homesare safe to live in.

You'll be at the heart of delivering the requirements of the Building Safety Act, ensuring buildings within your remit are safe to occupy through robust building safety measures, proactive oversight, and strong operational control.

A key part of your role will involve contributing to the development of Building Safety Case Reports and supporting submissions to obtain Building Assessment Certificates for your allocated buildings. You'll also be responsible for maintaining the ongoing safety position of each building, overseeing maintenance and testing activities, reviewing risk assessments, fire safety arrangements, and structural considerations to ensure risks are effectively managed.

You'll lead on the procurement of specialist services and take responsibility for managing and maintaining accurate building safety data. This includes ensuring compliance with L&Q's procurement processes and standing order rules, alongside confident use of housing management, financial, compliance, and record-keeping systems.

Bringing strong technical expertise, you'll have in-depth knowledge of building safety, including the operational maintenance of key active fire systems and other building-specific M&E systems.

Equally important is your ability to build relationships and influence. You'll be a confident, first-class communicator, experienced in working with a wide range of stakeholders, from residents and resident groups to Corporate Health & Safety, Housing Management, and wider Property Services teams, helping to promote transparency, trust, and a strong culture of safety across our communities.
