Role Purpose
The Building Safety Administrator provides high-quality administrative and coordination support to the

The postholder will maintain records and trackers, coordinate information requests and meetings,
support the preparation of building safety documentation, and follow up actions with Property Managers,
clients, consultants, contractors and other stakeholders. The role requires a highly organised, accurate

* - Assist with the onboarding and administration of higher-risk buildings on the regulator
portal and relevant internal systems, ensuring supporting documentation is complete and
appropriately filed.
* - Arrange HRB compliance check-ins, prepare agendas and supporting papers, record

* - Undertake document quality checks, proofreading and version control to ensure
building safety information is clear, complete, consistent and ready for review.
* - Prepare standard correspondence, information requests, updates and resident
communications using approved templates and procedures.
* - Support the production of management information, compliance updates and risk
summaries by collating accurate data and maintaining reporting records.
* - Assist with administrative elements of HRB service delivery, including fee proposals,
purchase orders, invoicing, credit control and budget information where required.
* - Provide responsive, professional support to leaseholders, clients, Property Managers
and internal colleagues, escalating technical, regulatory or higher-risk matters to the Head of
Building Safety.
* - Handle personal, commercially sensitive and safety-related information confidentially
and in accordance with company procedures.
