Braxfield Recruitment is currently working with a well-established housing provider to recruit an experienced Fire Safety Surveyor for a 12 month fixed term contract

This is an excellent opportunity to join a busy and professional fire safety team, taking responsibility for overseeing fire risk assessment actions across a diverse residential property portfolio and ensuring the highest standards of statutory compliance.
