Fire Remediation Manager | Full Time | London | £69,064

Peabody is hiring three Fire Remediation Managers to join its Fire Remediation Team.

These are permanent, full-time roles. The salary is £69,064. You will work 35 hours per week, Monday to Friday, from 9:00 to 17:00.

The role is hybrid, with two office days per week. The listed location is Westminster Bridge Road. The team’s monthly office day is the second Tuesday of each month at the Waterloo office. Much of your time will also be spent on site.

You will lead major cladding and fire safety remediation schemes. You will manage projects from investigation and design through to tender, site delivery, handover and final account.

This is a key Fire Remediation role. Your work will help Peabody meet the requirements of the Building Safety Act 2022. It will also help make homes safer and more reliable for residents.

So no, this is not one of those project roles where “delivery” means forwarding an email and hoping gravity does the rest. This is proper, visible work with real safety impact.

Application Tips

Use clear examples from major works, refurbishment or Fire Remediation projects. Show how you managed design, tendering, contractors, risk, budgets, quality and handover. Include your fire safety and technical qualifications clearly. Also explain how you have worked with residents and kept records, because the Golden Thread is only useful if someone can actually find the thing later.
