About Haringey
Haringey is a fantastic place to live and work – the world in one borough. A place brimming with creativity, personality, radicalism, and community. It is a place where we stand up for each other. A place that is proudly distinctive.
About the role
This is a pivotal and senior role for Haringey Council’s Housing and Building Safety Team. Taking the lead on the Building Safety agenda as well as focussing on Fire and Asbestos Safety, you will be responsible for ensuring compliance and improving the safety and awareness of residents. You will ensure that the profile of the team and the work it does receives the support, resources, and recognition it requires to drive the safety agenda from an operational and customer-facing level through to the Executive and Cabinet Members.
About the team
Reporting directly to the Head of Residential Building Safety, you will lead a team of around 15 people, subject to business requirements at any time, consisting of professional, highly trained, and qualified surveyors, risk assessors and technical staff, as well as administrative and resident liaison support staff.
About you
Given the responsibilities and level at which you will be operating, you will be an excellent communicator, both written and orally. You will be able to gain the confidence of everyone from our MP, Elected Members, the Executive and your peer group, and be able to explain complicated technical issues to non-technical people, safe in your own extensive subject knowledge around fire, asbestos, and building safety.
Your ability to lead multi-disciplinary professionals, support staff and contractors must be exemplary, and your experience of Council Governance, Financing and Housing stock challenges will be essential if you are to succeed in this role.
Required qualifications
Required qualifications for this position include an IFE (Institution of Fire Engineers) certification, NEBOSH Fire Certificate, and professional accreditation evidenced by membership in an engineering or related professional institute such as RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors), CIOB (Chartered Institute of Building), or C.Building Engineering.

Our benefits package includes a leave entitlement of 30 days + bank holidays, potential hybrid working opportunities, health and wellbeing support, a generous local government pension scheme and a range of discount schemes across leisure and culture.
