Health & Building Safety Manager

Cobalt
Hammersmith and Fulham, Greater London

Cobalt is working with a global real estate investment business to appoint a Health & Building Safety Manager on a 12-month fixed-term contract.

Reporting directly to the Head of Property Management, this is a critical role responsible for ensuring compliance with the Building Safety Act, fire safety legislation, and wider health and safety regulations across a national portfolio of student accommodation properties.

You'll lead on the delivery of key safety case requirements, including the registration of Higher-Risk Buildings (HRBs), management of the Golden Thread, and technical due diligence support for acquisitions and disposals. This is an excellent opportunity to take ownership of high-impact compliance work within a stable and well-supported team environment.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Leading on Building Safety Case submissions and HRB registration in line with the Building Safety Regulator's requirements

  • Managing remediation plans from FRAs, PAS 9980 reviews, and intrusive fire safety assessments

  • Developing and maintaining the Golden Thread of information across the residential portfolio

  • Ensuring compliance with relevant legislation including the Building Safety Act, Fire Safety Order, CDM 2015, and Health and Safety at Work Act

  • Delivering H&S audits, emergency planning, and compliance reviews across operational assets

  • Acting as the main liaison for external consultants including fire engineers, surveyors, and technical specialists

  • Supporting technical due diligence for new acquisitions and disposals, including identification of capital risks

  • Advising on lifecycle planning, fire safety works, and technical risk across the portfolio

  • Engaging with the Building Safety Regulator, HSE, and Fire Authorities as required

  • Providing advice and support to site and FM teams on health and building safety management

This role will suit someone with strong technical knowledge of residential or high-rise operations - ideally within PBSA, Build-to-Rent, or similar environments. You'll bring a working understanding of fire safety legislation, building risk management, and the new regulatory landscape under the Building Safety Act.

We're looking for a confident, solutions-focused professional who can manage consultants, influence internal stakeholders, and translate complex legislation into practical risk mitigation strategies.

This is a 12-month contract offering a unique opportunity to shape critical compliance and safety outcomes across a high-quality operational portfolio. The business has a strong, stable platform and a reputation for quality and long-term asset stewardship.
