Leave a positive legacy as a Fire Safety Assistant
Kier Places provides a full range of property management services to clients in and around homes and workplaces across the UK.

You'll prepare compliance reports for the team and client ensuring that they are on time and contain sufficient information - maintaining our excellent relationships with the clients.

What do we need from you?
We're looking for someone with a high level of attention to detail with the ability to communicate at all levels. You'll be self-driven, have strong interpersonal skills, and be able to manage multiple projects at the same time. You will have previous housing or constructor-based experience (buildings or facilities maintenance), alongside previous Fire Safety/Project Management experience and qualifications.
Whilst the base office location is in Loughton, Essex you will be expected to travel to different sites in the region to undertake work duties. Due to this, we require the successful candidate to hold a full driving licence.
What will you receive?
