Overview of role:

We’re looking for a Compliance Manager to join our new Building Compliance Team to oversee our gas, electric, asbestos and water hygiene functions. You’ll carry out regular audits and spot checks of these work streams to ensure we are compliant with legislation and keeping our customers safe. 

You’ll also be directly responsible for the Compliance Planning and Admin function, ensuring our servicing programmes and reactive appointments run efficiently and in line with SLAs.  

This role will also be responsible for managing a range of contractors in relation to building compliance, including our commercial gas and heat network contracts. 

Given the technical nature of building compliance, we’ll need you to be qualified in either gas or electric and be willing to work towards an asbestos qualification (if not already qualified). You’ll have an eye for detail and be highly skilled at working with large amounts of data, as well as being able to see the bigger picture. You’ll be passionate about building safety and driven by achieving 100% compliance, improving our service offer to customer and achieving value for money. It goes without saying that you’ll be able to effectively lead and manage people, including guiding people through change to achieve continuous improvement.  

So what’s in it for you? We offer a competitive salary, generous annual leave allowance, a local government pensions scheme and much, much, more. It also offers you the opportunity to be involved in a social business that has a clear set of values and objectives that are all about supporting people. And our inclusive culture and market-leading professional development opportunities have seen us achieve a Sunday Times ‘Best place to work’ award for 2024.
