About the role

The Compliance Technical Support Officer plays a key role in supporting the delivery of statutory compliance across Cambridgeshire County Council's corporate estate, including maintained schools. Working within the Facilities Management Compliance Team, the postholder will provide technical and administrative support to ensure compliance activities are effectively monitored, recorded, reported and maintained in accordance with legislative requirements, corporate policies and industry best practice.

The role will support the management of compliance contracts and programmes relating to areas such as fire safety, asbestos management, water hygiene, gas safety, electrical safety, lifts, mechanical systems and other statutory compliance disciplines. This includes maintaining accurate compliance records, monitoring contractor performance, reviewing certification and documentation, supporting audits and inspections, and assisting with the management of compliance data systems.

The postholder will work closely with the Compliance Manager, Head of Facilities Management and other Property Services colleagues, contractors and stakeholders across the organisation to ensure compliance activities are completed within required timescales and that risks, actions and remedial works are effectively tracked and reported.

A key aspect of the role is providing accurate management information and performance reporting, supporting the development of compliance processes, and helping to ensure the Council maintains compliance with relevant legislation, regulatory requirements and internal standards across its property portfolio.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with strong organisational skills, attention to detail and an interest in property compliance to develop their expertise within a professional Facilities Management environment, contributing directly to the safety of building users and the effective management of the Council's estate.
