Compliance & Technical Lead - Fire

Position: Compliance & Technical Lead - Fire
Location: West Bridgford

At Complii, we are looking for a Compliance & Technical Lead – Fire to support and strengthen technical integrity, regulatory compliance, and fire risk governance across our fire businesses. This role plays a key part in protecting life, supporting directors’ duties under current fire and building safety legislation, and ensuring consistent, well-documented compliance across the group.

If you enjoy working in technically complex environments, are confident interpreting fire safety legislation, and want to develop your influence as a senior technical specialist, this role offers the opportunity to operate with real responsibility while continuing to grow your authority and scope.

You will work independently from commercial and operational delivery, supporting the wider governance framework across active fire systems, passive fire protection, mechanical smoke control, and Fire Risk Assessments. From day one, the focus is on improving consistency, reducing technical and regulatory risk, and providing assurance that fire compliance is being managed robustly and transparently.

What you receive for joining us
We believe in rewarding expertise and accountability, which is why we offer an excellent salary, a performance-related bonus, and a car allowance. This also includes 25 days’ holiday plus bank holidays, an additional day off for your birthday, a collaborative and values-led working environment, and the opportunity to work closely with senior technical and leadership teams who value evidence-based decision making and professional judgement.

Here is a look at some of the things you will be doing

• Implementation and monitoring of technical and compliance standards across all fire disciplines, ensuring alignment between fire strategies, design, installation, and maintenance

• Reviewing technical decisions, including non-standard designs, product substitutions, high-risk FRAs, and value engineering proposals, escalating where appropriate

• Assisting with responses to regulators, Fire Authorities, insurers, and external advisors, ensuring documentation and evidence of compliance is accurate and accessible

• Contributing to reporting on fire risk, audits, incidents, and compliance performance, supporting investigations and the delivery of corrective actions

Can you show experience in some of these areas

• Technical or compliance experience within fire safety, life safety, or the built environment, with a solid understanding of UK fire and building safety legislation

• Experience supporting governance activities such as FRAs, audits, inspections, or competency frameworks across one or more fire disciplines

• A professional, confident approach to identifying and managing technical and regulatory risk, with the ability to challenge constructively when needed

• Clear communication skills, good technical judgement, and the ability to document decisions in a structured and auditable way

If you feel you have strong technical foundations and are ready to step into a broader compliance-focused role, even if you don’t meet every requirement above, we’d still love to hear from you. Complii is a leading integrated provider of safety and regulatory compliance services across our water, air, fire, and electrical divisions, supporting organisations nationwide to operate safely, compliantly, and responsibly.

This role offers the opportunity to deepen your technical influence, build credibility at a senior level, and contribute meaningfully to fire risk governance across the group
