445 low-rise blocks
We work in close partnership with the Housing Investment Team, which manages responsive and cyclical maintenance, specialist compliance works, planned improvement projects, and refurbishment schemes for a stock of 24,000 domestic properties. In addition, we collaborate with the High-Rise Tenancy and Facilities Management teams to deliver a comprehensive approach to building safety.

Ensuring compliance with ‘The Big 6’ (Fire, Gas, Electrical, Water Hygiene, Asbestos, and Lifts).
Produce detailed specifications and prepare Building Control applications.
Provide technical fire safety knowledge to other council departments.
What We’re Looking For:The successful candidate will be professional, empathetic, and able to handle sensitive issues appropriately, referring to relevant services when necessary.
