Role: Building Safety Consultant (Building Control)
Location: Remote / Flexible
Salary: Competitive + Bonus & Benefits
Confido Consult is excited to partner with a leading Building Safety Consultancy that specialises in the Construction Design & Management Regulations 2015 and the Building Safety Act 2022. Our client plays a critical role in ensuring safety and compliance across all projects from small shop fit-outs to high-risk buildings (HRBs) and beyond.
This is a rare opportunity for a Building Control professional, particularly those without extensive commercial or complex project experience, to step into a highly supportive consultancy environment. Our client is a small to medium-sized Building Safety consultancy with an established Building Regulations team made up of experienced, likeminded Registered Building Inspectors (RBIs), offering a strong platform for support and development.
With a fully remote and collaborative setup, this role provides complete flexibility and autonomy, free from micromanagement. As one of the early members of a growing business, you will have the opportunity to play a key role in shaping its future, influencing major decisions, and positioning yourself for career progression as the company expands.

· Review and assess building plans, providing professional recommendations to ensure compliance.
· Conduct site inspections and audits, offering clear, practical guidance to clients and design teams.
· Prepare compliance reports and maintain thorough documentation of all regulatory processes.
What We’re Looking For
· Minimum of 3 years’ experience in Building Control or a related field.
· Ideally Class 2D - Class 3H Registered Building Inspector (or working towards registration with BSR).
· Professional membership with CABE, RICS, or an equivalent body is desirable but integral.
· Strong knowledge of the Building Act, Building Regulations, Fire Safety Act, and associated legislation.
· Excellent communication skills with the ability to engage effectively with a range of stakeholders.
Why Join?
