About The Role

Job Purpose

The Estates Quality Assurance Manager provides independent, objective assurance that all estates-related activities are compliant, safe, effective, and aligned with statutory, regulatory, and organisational requirements.

Operating independently from Facilities Management and project delivery teams, the role is responsible for establishing and delivering a robust estates assurance framework, leading independent audits, reviewing governance, monitoring health & safety and statutory compliance, and ensuring ongoing regulatory readiness. The role plays a critical part in improving audit outcomes, strengthening regulatory confidence, and providing clear assurance to Executive leadership and governance forums.

Key Responsibilities

Quality, Assurance & Compliance

Provide independent assurance over estates activities, ensuring compliance with statutory, regulatory, and internal standards.

Act as the second line of defence for estates compliance, maintaining objectivity and independence from operational delivery.

Develop, implement, and continuously improve the Estates Quality Assurance Framework.

Compliance Auditing

Plan and deliver independent estates compliance audits, including statutory compliance, safety systems, contractor management, and governance controls.

Conduct risk-based audits across the estate, identifying non-conformances, systemic weaknesses, and areas of best practice.

Track audit actions to completion and verify effectiveness of corrective actions.

Statutory Assurance

Provide assurance that statutory inspections, testing, and maintenance obligations are fully met and appropriately evidenced.

Review statutory compliance documentation, certifications, and records to ensure accuracy, completeness, and audit readiness.

Escalate material risks or non-compliance to Executive and Governance Groups with clear recommendations.

Document Review

Undertake independent document quality reviews for estates activities and contractor works.

Assess documentation for suitability, proportionality, risk control effectiveness, and alignment with legislation and best practice.

Identify trends, gaps, and recurring risks to inform improvement plans and contractor performance discussions.

Audit & Regulatory Support

Lead preparation for internal, external, and regulatory audits related to estates and facilities compliance.

Support regulatory inspections by providing assurance evidence, audit outputs, and compliance dashboards.

Act as a key estate’s assurance contact for regulators, auditors, and internal governance bodies.

Performance Assurance & Reporting

Develop and maintain compliance assurance reports for Executive and Board-level audiences.

Provide clear, concise insight into compliance status, emerging risks, and assurance outcomes.

Use data and trends to drive continuous improvement and risk mitigation.

Regulatory Readiness

Conduct regulatory readiness assessments to test organisational preparedness for inspection or audit.

Identify gaps against regulatory expectations and support the development of targeted improvement plans.

Promote a culture of proactive compliance and assurance across estates functions.

Key Outcomes & Measures of Success

Improved internal and external audit outcomes

Increased confidence from regulators, auditors, and governance bodies

Clear, reliable estates compliance dashboards and assurance reporting

Reduction in repeat audit findings and high-risk non-compliances

Demonstrable independence and objectivity in assurance activity

Key Relationships

Executive Team and Governance Groups

Estates, Facilities Management, and Capital Projects teams (independent oversight)

Health & Safety, Risk, and Compliance functions
