Role Overview
This is an opportunity to join SRVO’s growing Risk team as a Fire and Health & Safety Risk Assessor, working across a portfolio of purpose-built residential developments throughout the UK.
You’ll be conducting site-based fire and H&S risk assessments on behalf of residential property managers, producing high-quality reports and providing clear, practical guidance to clients on compliance and remedial action.
The role is remote-based with regular travel to sites across London.
It suits a technically confident Assessor who is comfortable working autonomously, managing their own schedule and building trusted client relationships.
Role Expectations
You’ll plan and execute your own site visits, producing accurate and timely risk assessments to a consistently high standard.
You’ll be expected to work independently while staying closely connected to the wider team.
Clients are primarily residential property managers overseeing large, purpose-built developments.
You’ll liaise directly with them to explain findings, agree remedial action plans and support them in meeting their compliance obligations.
Technical rigour matters.
Assessments must reflect current legislation and best practice, and your advice will often inform how clients prioritise and schedule significant remedial works.

- You consistently deliver accurate, well-structured risk assessments on time
- Clients understand your findings and trust your advice
- You manage your diary and travel efficiently, meeting KPI targets

- Producing clear, accurate reports with prioritised recommendations for remedial works
- Liaising with residential property manager clients to explain findings and support compliance
- Advising clients on remedial work schedules and helping them navigate the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005
- Peer reviewing colleague assessments to maintain quality standards
- Attending client meetings when required
- Keeping up to date with fire safety legislation, British Standards and industry best practice

- Has proven, hands-on experience conducting Fire and H&S Risk Assessments
- Holds a NEBOSH Certificate in Fire Safety (or equivalent, Level 3) — essential
