Job Description
Fire Safety Manager
Salary: £47,025–£52,250 + benefits
Location: Salisbury
Working pattern: Approx. 60% site-based / 40% travel
Clearance: SC Clearance required #
Are you a Fire Safety professional looking for something more varied than an office-based role?
This is an opportunity to join an established specialist fire safety team and take ownership of fire safety across a large, complex and highly varied estate.
With around 1,500 buildings across 40+ sites, you won't be dealing with the same building or the same problem every day. From older buildings through to major new developments and complex engineering environments, there is plenty to get your teeth into.
What will you be doing?
You'll take responsibility for an allocated portfolio of sites, working closely with people on the ground as well as senior leadership.
Your focus will be heavily around fire risk assessment, fire safety management and improving standards across the estate.
You'll be:
What are we looking for?
We're looking for someone who knows their fire safety inside out, but who also knows how to work with people.
Ideally, you'll have:
Your approach matters
You'll need to be someone who can walk into a room challenge and ask questions in the right way.
Some of the buildings you'll be dealing with are older and present genuinely difficult fire safety challenges. Sometimes the right solution will require significant investment, and you'll need the confidence to make that case while maintaining strong relationshipswith the client and wider business.
You'll work closely with the people actually managing these buildings, so understanding the real world challenges on the ground is just as important as your technical knowledge.
Why consider it?
This is a busy, varied and genuinely interesting fire safety role with exposure to complex buildings, engineering, aviation, defence, security and emerging technologies.
You'll be part of an established specialist team, have plenty of autonomy across your own portfolio and work alongside experienced fire safety professionals.
There is also a strong focus on career development and progression, with opportunities to grow within the wider Safety function.
You'll have a flexible working arrangement, with approximately 60% site based work and 40% travel.
Travel expenses are covered, including a hire vehicle and fuel, with a food allowance when travelling.
If you're a Level 4 Fire Risk Assessor who enjoys complex environments, likes being out on site and isn't afraid to challenge the business when it matters, this could be a very good next step.
