We’re looking for a Building Safety expert who wants a new challenge. You could have any background in building safety, not only housing. This is your chance to make a real impact using your skills and expertise to ensure Coastline continues to keep our customers safe in their homes.
The role
Your responsibilities will include all aspects of building safety and compliance, such as Legionella, asbestos, fire safety, lifts, and radon. This is an increasingly important area of work, and as a senior member of our team you will report to the Head of Property Investment and Compliance and work closely with the Deputy Head. You will manage a team of technical experts and oversee the safety of our homes, a high quality Extra Care Scheme, and modern Homeless Crisis accommodation, meaning there’s plenty of variety and never a dull day! Uniquely, although we have 5,500 homes, none of them are in high-rise buildings over 11.2m.
At Coastline, we prioritise our customers’ safety and satisfaction. We know our customers well, with our in-house facilities team on the ground conducting weekly safety checks, contributing to an impressive 88% customer satisfaction rate that places us in the top quartile.
Key responsibilities
• Ensure the safety and compliance of all properties.
• Manage and lead a team of technical experts.
• Conduct quality checks and manage contractors.
• Oversee budget management and cost forecasting.
• Work directly with customers, translating technical matters into easily-understood guidance.
Qualifications
We are looking for someone who is qualified in or willing to undertake these qualifications in the first year of appointment:
• Level 4 Diploma in Fire Safety or equivalent - ideally a NEBOSH Certificate in Fire Safety supported by practical application or a further practical qualification such as an IFE-accredited Level 3 Certificate in Fire Safety for Fire Auditors.
• Membership of the Institution of Fire Engineers (IFE) or a similar safety body.
• Asbestos Management P405, Legionella Responsible Person, and lift management certifications.
• Demonstrable contractor management experience with ability to carry out quality checks.
• Sound IT skills including Microsoft Excel and Word.
• Project management skills and experience.
Salary for this role is within the range £46,000 - £59,000. Please note your salary will be reflected according to your individual circumstances.
