Are you ready to take on a critical role in safeguarding lives and assets across the Defence Estate? As a Defence Fire Safety Regulator (DFSR), Fire Safety Inspector, you will be ensuring compliance with UK fire safety legislation and driving the highest standards of safety. Your responsibilities will include ensuring that Responsible (Accountable) Persons implement effective fire precautions to protect people and property.

A key part of your role will involve conducting risk-based audits to assess compliance with fire safety legislation and Defence Safety Regulations. These audits are essential to ensuring that Responsible (Accountable) Persons implement effective fire precautions to protect people and property. You will also undertake post-fire audits where necessary, identifying potential failings and taking appropriate action to address them. Where breaches of legislation are identified, or where an immediate risk to life is present, you will have the authority to issue Enforcement Notices or Prohibition Notices to safeguard lives and ensure compliance.

In addition to audits, you will play a vital role in statutory fire safety consultations for building works. This process ensures that new or altered buildings meet fire safety regulations by addressing fire safety issues early in the planning and design stages. You will work closely with building control bodies (local authorities or private inspectorates), applicants (such as developers, architects, or owners). By embedding fire safety from the outset, you will help prevent costly and disruptive changes later in the construction process.

We are seeking a motivated and experienced professional to join our team. This is not just a job—it’s an opportunity to make a real difference. As a confident communicator with a strong understanding of UK fire safety legislation, you will collaborate with a wide range of stakeholders to uphold safety standards across the Defence Estate. You’ll use your analytical and interpretation skills to conduct audits, assess compliance, and contribute to the continuous improvement of fire safety practices. No two days will be the same, offering you a dynamic and rewarding work environment where your expertise will have a tangible impact.

This role also offers the opportunity to travel across the UK, as you work to ensure fire safety compliance in diverse and challenging environments. If you’re ready to take on a role that combines responsibility, variety, and the chance to make a real impact, we want to hear from you.
