Crynodeb
The Maintenance and Contracts service spends circa. £25 million annually repairing, maintaining and improving a retained housing stock of circa 7800 properties and 15 sheltered schemes to our local “Ipswich Standard”. The Council takes a holistic approach to stock management and has one seamless service that is now responsible for everything in connection with the asset management of that stock; from initial design to completing works on site on a right first-time basis using our own directly employed trade teams.
Housing is a flagship service of Ipswich Borough Council and it is a service that is vital for our tenants and very much in the public eye – as you would expect with such a range of work. We benefit from working in a brand new environmentally friendly modern depot facility.
We are looking for a Fire Safety Manager who will be responsible for ensuring the Council maintains full compliance on all aspect of Fire Safety within its Housing stock, which will include being responsible for meeting all regulatory standards relating to Fire Legislation, ensuring ongoing safety checks, testing, inspection and maintenance and ensuring all of the relevant HRA assets are fully maintained in line with the newly adopted fire safety strategies.
This is an exciting time to join us as we have just entered into contracts with suppliers to carry out major fire safety improvements across our housing stock. The postholder will therefore also be responsible for providing fire engineering advice and expertise, to enable these contracts to successfully progress.
The postholder will be expected to manage a Fire Safety Surveyor and their professional development.
The successful candidate will have relevant qualifications, experience and a proven track record of working in a similar role.
As well as a good salary, we offer a career average pension scheme, generous holiday and sick pay entitlements, subsidised parking for work and leisure, public transport discounts, free swimming and gym membership, cycle purchase scheme, plenty of personal and professional development opportunities, flexible working, hybrid working opportunities, Employee Assistance Programme and the opportunity to work with great colleagues.
