HEAD OF BUILDING SAFETY & COMPLIANCE There are compliance roles in residential property and there are building safety roles in residential property. There are few roles that allow you to build something from the ground up, inside a business that genuinely understands why it matters. The Building Safety Act has changed the landscape for managing agents permanently. Many are still working out how to respond. This highly regarded team has decided to get ahead of it not by adding a tick-box function, but by bringing in a senior position with the authority, the access and the backing to build a compliance and governance framework that will define how the business operates for years to come. This is a newly created role inside a well-regarded residential block management business operating across London and the South East, with a strong reputation for specialist client service and quality of delivery. The postholder will serve as the internal authority on building safety, risk and compliance; a genuinely strategic position, not a day-to-day property management post, with the authority to direct corrective action across operational teams where required. If you have spent your career building expertise in building safety and governance and you are looking for a role where that expertise shapes something lasting rather than maintains something existing, this is worth a conversation. Responsibilities Designing and implementing the firm's risk, governance and compliance framework across the portfolio Providing strategic oversight of building safety compliance, with particular focus on higher-risk buildings and obligations under the Building Safety Act 2022 Acting as senior internal lead on regulatory compliance across fire safety, leasehold, landlord and tenant legislation, and company law Producing board-quality risk reporting, governance dashboards and strategic advice for senior leadership Horizon scanning for regulatory and legislative change and advising on business readiness Providing independent assurance across operational teams, identifying control weaknesses and directing corrective action where compliance or governance issues arise Advising on governance matters for RMCs, RTM companies, freeholder entities and associated client boards Supporting defensible positions on service charge recoverability, contractor assurance and commercial risk Essential Experience: Significant experience in residential block management, building safety or compliance leadership Strong working knowledge of the Building Safety Act 2022, fire safety legislation and the leasehold governance framework Experience building or leading governance and compliance frameworks in a residential property setting Ability to challenge operational teams constructively and require corrective action where needed High standards of judgement, integrity and professional discipline Preferred Experience: Prior experience in a building safety or compliance role within a residential managing agent Familiarity with higher-risk buildings, safety case requirements and Golden Thread obligations Experience with tribunal, ombudsman or regulator-facing matters NEBOSH General Certificate, NEBOSH Fire Safety or equivalent Membership of IRPM, TPI, MRICS, CIH, CABE, IFE or equivalent Benefits: Competitive salary - up to £75k Private healthcare Pension Enhanced holiday package Hybrid working (1 2 days office/on site per week) Senior leadership visibility and influence For a confidential discussion or to apply, please contact Alex Parsons at 1st Select.

Partner - Planning and Development Consultancy Location: Northamptonshire Confidential appointment Immediate Partner / Equity opportunity for the right individual, or a clearly defined pathway Joshua Robert are supporting a confidential appointment for an established consultancy looking to strengthen its planning and development offer across the Midlands. This is aimed at an experienced MRTPI-qualified planning professional who is either already operating at Partner level, or is close to that point but does not yet have the title, influence or reward to match. The opportunity is straightforward: lead, grow and shape a regional planning consultancy offer with genuine autonomy and a serious commercial platform behind you. For the right person, this can include immediate Partner status and equity participation. If that is not appropriate from day one, there is scope to agree a clear and structured pathway to achieve it. The Opportunity This is not a standard Planning Manager role. The client is looking for someone who can take ownership of a planning and development consultancy function, develop client relationships, win instructions and build a stronger regional presence. The role will suit someone who enjoys the commercial side of consultancy as much as the technical side: advising clients, identifying opportunities, building relationships and creating long-term value. There is already a platform to build from, but the successful candidate will have the freedom to shape the direction of the offer and grow it around their own market presence. Why It Is Worth Considering This opportunity is likely to appeal if you are asking yourself: Am I already operating at this level without the title or reward? Is my route to equity clear, or just talked about? Am I building value for someone else without a meaningful stake? Could I grow something faster with the right backing? Do I want more control over the clients, work and team I build? The client can offer: Immediate Partner status for the right person Potential equity participation A clear route to partnership if not immediate Senior-level package shaped around experience and commercial value Autonomy to lead and grow a regional planning function Existing relationships and workstreams to build from Scope to recruit and develop a team around you Direct influence in the direction of the business The Role The successful candidate will lead the growth of a planning and development consultancy offer across the Midlands. The role will involve: Developing instructions from landowners, developers, promoters, investors and property clients Providing strategic planning advice across residential, commercial, mixed-use and strategic land projects Leading on pre-application strategy, planning applications, appeals and post-planning work Building and maintaining senior client relationships Generating new business through referrals, networks and market activity Building a stronger regional profile for the planning offer Growing a team as the opportunity develops Contributing to the wider commercial direction of the business The Person You will need to be MRTPI qualified . You are likely to be operating as a Senior Associate, Associate Director, Director, Salaried Partner or Partner within planning consultancy, development consultancy or a similar advisory environment. You should bring: Strong private sector planning consultancy experience Credibility with landowners, developers, agents, local authorities and professional teams A track record of developing client relationships Commercial judgement and business development ability Technical strength across planning strategy, applications, appeals and development advice The confidence to represent a consultancy externally The ambition to build and grow a profitable planning offer The key requirement is simple: the client is looking for someone who can create commercial value, not just deliver planning work. For a confidential discussion, please apply or contact Joshua Robert directly.
