Principal Advisor: Building Control - JIT

After a successful six years of getting landlords to remediate high rise blocks with unsafe cladding, JIT, the national fire safety Joint Inspection Team, is recruiting another building controller. The contract is for up to 31.3.27, but there are ongoing discussions with Government about extending the JIT team beyond then. This is a unique opportunity to be at the cutting edge of making buildings safe and working with key regulators. The JIT is a multi-disciplinary team comprised of a fire engineer, a building controller, Environmental Health professionals, intelligence officers, and legal advisors. Most of the team's work involves site inspections (up to two days), preparation ahead of the inspection, and follow up work, including drafting reports and helping councils to enforce using Housing Act 2004. The team also delivers training courses to local authority staff to help them undertake their own enforcement. The team is based in London, but there are opportunities for home working. Hotels and travel to site inspections are paid for by the LGA. The JIT team is funded by Central Government but is independent in all professional judgements - our clients are local authorities. The position is required to support immediate delivery needs. The organisation is consulting on its operating model. The grade and responsibilities are subject to confirmation. Priority consideration may be given to employees at risk where they have the required qualifications and experience.
