Fire and Health & Safety Risk Assessor

We are on a mission to become the leading international force in residential property management. What we do matters to billions of people in their everyday lives.

Residential real estate is the world’s largest asset class, and for most families, buying a home is the single biggest financial decision they will ever make. For too long, residential property management has fallen short of homeowners' and residents' expectations, and the industry is ready for change. Odevo was formed to make that change happen.

In just six years, Odevo has grown more than 70-fold, establishing us as the leading international player. We are more than 12,000 people across the US, the UK, the Nordics, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Mexico, and Italy building Odevo. Together, we aspire to break new ground through innovation and cultivate a workplace where we help each other succeed, where ideas matter more than titles, and where kindness is a strength.

By combining the power of people and technology, we set a new standard for how homes are managed. Our technology-enabled services simplify living for residents and create a better experience for property owners and boards.

Our ambition is to continue our fast-growing journey through new customers, service expansion, and by partnering with great companies that share our mindset and ambition, both in existing and new markets.

As we continue to grow, we stay true to who we are, challenge unnecessary bureaucracy, and keep decision-making close to our customers.

If you share our mindset and ambition, we’d love you to join us and help accelerate our mission together.

HOW YOU’LL SPEND MOST OF YOUR TIME

Most weeks, you’ll be:

• Conducting Fire Risk Assessments and General H&S Risk Assessments in line with best practice

• Producing clear, accurate reports with prioritised actions and required works

• Supporting clients to understand findings, compliance requirements and next steps

• Liaising with property managers to support timely resolution of fire and H&S issues

• Assisting clients with remedial work schedules where required

• Attending client meetings to discuss findings and compliance planning

• Peer reviewing and validating works and recommendations

• Providing technical advice aligned to relevant legislation and British Standards

• Working to agreed KPIs and supporting continuous improvement across the Risk team

You’ll work remotely between site visits, managing your region across Northern England.

WHO THIS ROLE IS FOR

This role suits someone who:

• Holds a NEBOSH Certificate in Fire Safety (or equivalent Level 3)

• Has proven experience conducting Fire Risk Assessments and H&S Risk Assessments

• Is confident producing clear, high-quality reports with practical recommendations

• Has strong knowledge of fire safety and health & safety legislation, technical standards and best practice

• Communicates professionally with clients, property managers and stakeholders

• Is organised, self-sufficient and comfortable managing their own diary and workload

• Holds a full, clean UK driving licence and is willing to travel regionally (with occasional overnight stays)

It would be advantageous if you also have:

• FPA Level 4 in Fire Risk Assessment (or equivalent)

• Additional professional memberships or qualifications (e.g., IFE, IFSM, IOSH)

• Strong working knowledge of British Standards relating to fire and life safety systems

EXPERIENCE THAT HELPS
