Overview

Building Safety Consultant — Remote — Salary up to £80,000. I’m working with a specialist consultancy that’s growing its team and looking for an experienced Building Safety Consultant. This is a fantastic chance to play a key role in guiding clients through the new Building Safety Act 2022 and wider building regulations, helping deliver safer, better-quality projects across the UK.

What sets this consultancy apart is their unique blend of people:

• Senior professionals who are still actively leading in local authority building control.
• Project leaders with first-hand experience delivering some of London\'s most high-profile developments.

They see the Building Safety Act not just as a regulatory hurdle, but as a vital turning point for the industry. Their mission is to use this framework to embed safety into the heart of construction while also driving broader improvements — from better information management and digitalisation to raising the overall quality of the built environment.

If you\'re looking to join a team that combines deep technical knowledge with a forward-thinking, solutions-led approach, this could be a brilliant fit.

What you\'ll do

• Advise clients on building safety legislation (Building Safety Act, Building Regulations, Fire Safety Act, CDM Regulations).
• Carry out compliance reviews on higher-risk buildings (HRBs) and other complex projects.
• Assess design and construction risks (fire safety, structural, etc.) and provide clear, practical advice.
• Review building plans, prepare reports, and guide clients on achieving compliance.
• Undertake site inspections where required, checking standards are met.
• Work closely with developers, designers, and contractors to support safe outcomes.

What they\'re looking for

• Degree in Building Surveying, Building Control, or a related discipline.
• Professional membership (CABE, RICS, or equivalent).
• At least 5 years\' experience in building control or safety compliance.
• Class 2D - Class 3H Registered Building Inspector, or working towards registration (support available).
• Strong knowledge of building safety legislation, regulations, and compliance frameworks.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Organised, proactive, and able to work independently in a remote setup.

Why this role?

• Fully remote - flexibility to work from anywhere in the UK.
• Opportunity to shape how the industry adapts to the biggest regulatory shift in decades.
• Join a team of highly experienced professionals making a real difference.
• Competitive package with career growth opportunities.
