PRINCIPAL OFFICER – PRIVATE HOUSING REGULATION AND FIRE SAFETY

We are thrilled to offer a compelling opportunity for an experienced and highly skilled Principal Officer to join our dedicated Private Housing and Environmental Health Standards team. This pivotal role is focused on ensuring fire safety compliance in high-rise and mid-rise residential buildings within the private rented sector.

As Principal Officer, you will lead a specialist fire safety team, providing expert advice, driving policy development, and collaborating closely with key stakeholders including developers, leaseholders, landlords, managing agents, the Joint Inspection Team (JIT), the London Fire Brigade, Greater London Authority, Building Safety Regulator, and the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government. Your leadership will be critical in shaping fire safety standards and enforcement strategies that protect thousands of residents.

We are seeking a committed professional with extensive expertise in fire safety legislation, including the Housing Act 2004, Building Safety Act 2022, and Fire Safety Act 2021. The ideal candidate will possess a strong background in fire risk assessment for tall buildings, the ability to interpret complex technical reports, and proven experience managing enforcement actions confidently and effectively.

This role offers a unique chance to make a real difference in resident safety and influence regulatory standards at a strategic level. In recognition of the specialist skills required, we offer a competitive £5,000 market supplement alongside the Grade PO5 salary.

You will be supported by experienced Senior Officers and a Team Manager, with access to ongoing professional development including CPD, external training, and reimbursement of professional fees. We are also proud to offer flexible working arrangements, including hybrid working, to promote a healthy work-life balance.
