About us
Ealing is a place with huge potential. It’s one of London’s largest boroughs, has over 350,000 residents, and with over half from BAME communities, is rich in cultural diversity. We’re home to the world-famous Ealing Studios, a number of major parks and conservation sites, a leading modern university in the University of West London, and a wide range of important businesses and enterprises. As a Council we aim to engage with our communities, and work with them in partnership. We want all our residents to have their voices heard, and our bold and imaginative ambitions are matched by our determination to do things differently.
About the role
In this important role, you’ll manage a group of high-rise and high-risk residential buildings, ensuring compliance with all the legislative regulations for building and fire safety, and take responsibility for one or more areas of building safety.

You’ll have a range of additional tasks, including communicating building and fire safety to all residents within high-rise and high-risk buildings, monitoring the status of buildings including the completion of repairs, fire risk assessments actions and scheduled maintenance, and reviewing and updating the building safety case. We’ll also expect you to liaise with housing and legal teams to ensure access to properties to allow the completion of essential maintenance work, and maintain Health and Safety records relating to the buildings under your management.
