Building Safety Assurance Manmager

We are looking for an experienced building safety professional to join us in the role of Building Safety Assurance Manager. You will play a crucial role in ensuring the safety and compliance of our homes and services. Reporting directly to the Head of Assurance, you will join an established team working alongside building safety, HSE and assurance specialists.

Using your industry expertise, you will lead and deliver our assurance programme with a primary focus on property compliance including but not limited to gas, electrical safety, fire, legionella, asbestos and lifts. Your work will help ensure our risks are systematically managed and that we consistently meet our regulatory obligations, keeping our residents, employees and contractors safe.

Some travel across our operating area will be required, so you'll need a full driving licence and access to a vehicle.

• Lead the development and delivery of independent assurance reviews, working collaboratively with property, building safety and housing teams.
• Deliver clear, reliable, evidence-based assurance conclusions that test the effectiveness of our policies, processes and procedures, ensuring regulatory compliance and alignment to SNG's corporate plan.
• Lead the building safety assurance process to identify compliance gaps, agree sustainable action plans with internal stakeholders, and share good practice across the business.
• Oversee the rigorous monitoring and closure of assurance actions, ensuring robust evidence and resulting improvements to business processes.
• Influence, coach and engage a wide range of internal and external stakeholders to enhance assurance capability and understanding across the organisation.

• Strong understanding of building safety regulations across key areas such as gas, electrical safety, fire, legionella and lifts, ideally with specialist expertise in at least one discipline.

• Proven ability to interpret and apply regulatory requirements within operational settings.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, enabling you to deliver clear, evidence-based conclusions.
• Strong practical understanding of building safety risk management within complex operational environments.
• High level of attention to detail, combined with the ability to step back and see the wider picture.
• Strong stakeholder management and relationship-building skills.
• A tenacious yet supportive approach, with experience driving meaningful change.
• Effective team-working skills to contribute to shared organisational goals.
• Professional recognition with an appropriate body (e.g., Institute of Engineering & Technology).
