Outline of Role
We are looking for a skilled Compliance Lead to manage gas safety compliance and related building services contracts. You will ensure my client's operations meet all legal, corporate, and safety standards while promoting a proactive compliance culture. The role includes overseeing internal and contractor performance, managing compliance systems, and ensuring accurate data reporting. You'll also play a key part in enhancing processes, coordinating service delivery, and supporting operational excellence.
This role operates on a hybrid policy, requiring the first month to be spent in-person at the office. Afterward, you will be expected to manage and supervise your own diary, including visits to sites and the office as needed within Yorkshire.
Please note, this is not a gas engineer role-it is a desk-based, survey-focused compliance position. You should be comfortable writing policies, managing data, and working with the commercial team.
While being a certified gas engineer is required, the primary focus will be compliance and administration rather than hands-on engineering.
The salary for this role ranges between £45,000 and £48,000, and includes either a company van or a car allowance/salary sacrifice scheme.
