The Vacancy

Full Time - 35 Hours per week

Poplar HARCA is an award-winning housing and regeneration organisation with a national reputation for innovative urban and social regeneration.


The Building Safety Offer (BSO) will work within the Building Fire Safety Team under the Development and Regeneration directorate to help deliver their programme of cladding remediation and Building Safety Act 2022 compliance work to buildings across Poplar HARCA estates.


The principle role of the BSO will be to assist the Building Safety Manager and the Building Fire Safety Team generally with technical and administrative support to ensure Poplar HARCA meets it statutory obligations under the Building Safety Act 2022 and associated new legislation. Specifically, the BSO will provide support in gathering technical building information required for the development of Building Safety Case Reports. Close working with building Developers and Contractors is also required, both during the on-site works and during the pre-start assessment and specification periods, to assist with the delivery of Poplar HARCA's remediation programme.


While carrying out this role, the coordination of property surveys and assessments means there will also be a necessity to assist with resident liaison requirements. This will require close working with residents and contractors to ensure the best communication is provided to residents to minimise the impact of the works upon them. This will be achieved by such actions as providing newsletters and specific updates, arranging contractor appointments, carrying out site and resident visits, attending resident meetings.

Closing Date: Friday 7th November 2025 (5.00pm)
