Building Safety Manager | Full Time | Hybrid | Calderdale | £60,240

Together Housing is hiring two Building Safety Managers to join its Building Safety Team.

One role will focus on Calderdale. The other will focus on Lancashire.

This is a full-time, hybrid role. You may work from the office, from site and from home. Office locations include Halifax, Blackburn and Wakefield.

The salary is £60,240 per year.

You will help lead key work under the new Building Safety framework. You will work with regulators, staff and contractors to make sure safety work is done, recorded and kept compliant.

You will also help make sure in-scope buildings are registered with the Building Safety Regulator. You will support Building Assurance Certificates and oversee resident engagement.

This is a serious role with real impact. Not the kind of “manager” role where the main hazard is a calendar invite with no agenda. Actual homes. Actual residents. Actual risk.
