Job Description

WE ARE RECRUITING:

LOCATION: Remote or one of Hickton Group’s Regional Offices (This may be an informal hybrid arrangement depending on individual preferences.)

About the role

Qualitas Compliance is a rapidly growing Building Regulations Compliance Consultancy business. 

We offer a range of professional services to assist our clients in meeting their statutory Fire Safety and Building Control obligations and reduce design and programme risk.

Our service is tailored to integrate with clients and design teams to develop project proposals through the planning stages to a state of readiness for submission for approval to the Building Control Body and subsequent Fire Authority consultation.

In today’s construction industry, the role of a Building Regulations Consultant has never been more crucial.

However, these projects will be those for which we are also appointed as Building Regulation Consultant. There will also be a need to travel for internal meetings.
