External Wall Safety Manager

Hackney Council
Resident Safety | Climate, Homes & Economy Directorate
Salary: £55,353 - £80,634

Goodman Masson is delighted to partner with Hackney Council to recruit an External Wall Safety Manager. This role sits within the Resident Safety service and plays a critical part in ensuring the safety, integrity and long-term resilience of Hackney’s housing stock.

Reporting to the Head of Fire Safety, you will lead the Council’s approach to identifying, assessing and remediating external wall safety risks arising from PAS9980 assessments. You will oversee risk profiling for all buildings with combustible materials to external walls, ensuring high-risk blocks are prioritised and that all remedial work complies with the Fire Safety Act 2021, Building Safety Act 2022 and wider regulatory requirements. You will manage consultants and contractors delivering remediation projects, ensuring strong contract oversight, quality assurance, and progress reporting.

A key part of the role is resident engagement—providing clear, transparent communication about external wall safety issues and remediation activity. You will work closely with housing management, asset management, legal services, the London Fire Brigade and regulatory bodies to coordinate responses and ensure full compliance. You will also provide updates to senior leaders, support monthly and quarterly reporting to regulators, and maintain accurate records of all safety actions.

You will line-manage one direct report within a wider team of fire safety specialists and will oversee financial planning and applications for government funding supporting remediation programmes up to 2029. The role requires strong project management capability, technical understanding of external wall systems and PAS9980 methodology, and the ability to navigate complex stakeholder environments.

We are seeking an experienced professional with:
• Strong understanding of fire safety legislation and external wall compliance
• Experience delivering external wall safety remediation within housing or local government
• Knowledge of PAS9980 assessments and high-risk external wall systems
• Proven contractor management and project delivery experience
• Excellent communication skills and confidence engaging with residents and regulatory bodies
• Fire safety qualifications such as NEBOSH Fire Safety, Level 4 Fire Safety & Risk Management, and membership of IFE/IFSM/IOSH or equivalent/working towards

This is a highly impactful position, supporting the safety of thousands of residents while driving improvements across Hackney’s housing portfolio.
