• Proven experience as a Fire Risk Assessor within the residential sector
• Experience covering low- to high-rise residential buildings
• A recognised fire risk assessment qualification, with a minimum Tier 3 status on a recognised register
• Strong knowledge of current fire safety legislation and guidance
