Department: Operations - Field Based Employment Type: Full Time Location: Nationwide Compensation: Competitive P4 isn't your typical safety consultancy. We exist to bring clarity, pace and real-world support to an industry often bogged down in red tape and vague advice. We work with clients, design teams and contractors across the UK from offices in Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds and London. We talk like real people. We are not here to impress with jargon or hide behind processes — we are here to help clients make smart decisions, avoid risk and deliver safer, better buildings. Our Building Safety Act team is growing, and this role is central to that growth. We recognise that every person is unique, and we work hard to build a culture where everyone can be themselves. Whether that means flexibility around individual needs or simply making sure people have someone to talk to when they need it, we want everyone here to feel welcome, heard and valued. We are looking for an experienced Building Regulations Principal Designer to take dayto-day ownership of a portfolio of Building Safety Act commissions — acting as, or supporting, the Principal Designer across both higher-risk and non-higher-risk buildings. You will work across multiple developments at once, carrying them from early design through RIBA Stages 2 to 6 and the Gateway process. Projects will typically be yours to lead, with the backing of a senior team and technical peer review. Expect to spend your time between home, our offices, client offices, design team meetings and project sites.
