Requirements

Arcadis has an established process for providing support to clients on Building Safety Act requirements and we require additional expertise in Building Control. This position is ideal for a candidate with several years of Building Control experience who wishes to apply their expertise in a consulting and advisory environment.

Qualifications and experience include delivering architectural or building control services, with BICoF Class 2F registration preferred and membership in professional bodies such as CABE, RICS, RIBA, CIAT or CIOB. Candidates must have strong knowledge of the Building Regulations, the Building Safety Act 2022, design and construction processes, and relevant codes, as well as familiarity with CDM 2015. A background in architecture, design/engineering or building control, excellent client‑facing skills, and the ability to communicate complex safety concepts effectively are essential. The role also requires high organization and the capacity to manage multiple projects across different sectors; experience delivering CDM 2015 or Building Regulations Principal Designer services is advantageous but not essential.
