PCC - Statutory Compliance Technician

This vacancy is only available for those currently employed at Plymouth City Council in the Customer & Corporate Services Directorate, HROD Department and within the Facilities Management Team, or if you have confirmed current redeployment status. If you are not employed in this service area, or are a current redeployee, please do not apply, as your application will not be considered.

Facilities Management has a secondment opportunity in the role of Statutory Compliance Technician for three months.

This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in ensuring our corporate buildings remain safe, compliant and operational, supporting everyone from council staff to schools and community services.

Working alongside the Statutory Compliance Team and specialist contractors, you'll help manage statutory compliance across hundreds of properties, providing expert support to Persons in Control (PICs) while ensuring legal obligations are met.

This is a varied position combining site inspections, compliance auditing, data management and stakeholder engagement.

No two days are the same—you could be auditing fire safety records one day, reviewing Legionella documentation the next, or supporting colleagues with compliance advice across our property portfolio.

• Carrying out statutory compliance audits across the Council's property estate.
• Supporting Persons in Control (PICs) with their health and safety responsibilities.
• Monitoring compliance information including Fire Risk Assessments, Legionella assessments and other statutory records.
• Developing and delivering training for building managers.
• Maintaining accurate compliance databases and management information.
• Assisting with the management of Facilities Management contracts.
• Liaising with contractors, suppliers and internal stakeholders.
• Supporting continuous improvement of compliance processes and procedures.

We're looking for someone who is organised, proactive and enjoys working with people.

You will have experience within property management, facilities management, building compliance or a health and safety environment and be comfortable managing multiple priorities across a varied property portfolio.

• Experience of undertaking audits or compliance inspections.
• Good knowledge of property maintenance and statutory compliance.
• Excellent communication and organisational skills.
• Strong IT and data management skills.
• The ability to build positive relationships with a wide range of stakeholders.
