Senior Technical Manager – Building Safety

Working in a subject matter specialist team with Will Adie, Head of Building Safety, and a small team of built environment technical specialists within the Agency’s Delivery Directorate, the Senior Technical Manager - Building Safety will play a critical role in providing technical assurance, guidance and specialist support to the Government’s Cladding Safety Scheme. You will be joining our small but highly skilled and experienced team, who are committed to helping remove barriers to remediation, supporting informed decision-making and ensuring building safety risks are understood and managed appropriately throughout project delivery.

Will Adie is dedicated to delivering a first-class customer service, resolving issues informally wherever possible and taking an innovative and pragmatic approach to complex building safety, design and remediation challenges. Will believes in working in a collaborative and flexible way and values diversity of experience and perspective to foster good decision-making and practical problem solving within the team.

This is a rare chance to help shape the development of building safety technical assurance within a fast-growing national organisation with real social purpose. Working with key stakeholders, delivery teams and industry professionals, you will help ensure the efficient, consistent and effective resolution of complex technical, commercial and project delivery issues. You will provide independent technical assurance, scrutiny and specialist advice to support decision-making and help ensure remediation proposals are technically robust, proportionate and represent value for public investment.

The role will support the delivery of key strategic priorities across the Cladding Safety Scheme and, where required, other government-funded building safety programmes. There are some exciting and rewarding projects to get involved with, making this an excellent opportunity to balance day-to-day technical delivery with the development of innovative and proportionate solutions that help buildings progress towards remediation. Working closely with delivery and commercial colleagues, you will help identify and resolve technical barriers that may otherwise hinder the progression of remediation projects.
