Are you an experienced fire safety professional looking for a role where you can really make a difference? We're looking for a Resort Fire Safety Manager to lead fire safety across our Skegness resort — protecting our guests, team, and buildings, and helping shape how we manage fire risk for the future.
You'll work closely with senior leaders, external agencies, and teams across the resort, giving you real influence over how fire safety is managed at every level.
As Resort Fire Safety Manager, you'll provide expert advice and leadership on fire safety across the resort. You'll make sure the company follows all fire safety laws, standards, and internal rules — while supporting safe day-to-day operations, building projects, and the wider approach to managing risk.
This includes:
- Give expert fire safety advice to resort-based senior leaders and heads of department, and take the lead in resolving fire-related issues and incidents.
- Make sure resort operations follow UK fire safety law, British Standards, Building Regulations, and other relevant codes of practice.
- Act as the main point of contact with the Fire & Rescue Service, inspectors, insurers, and other outside organisations on fire safety matters.
Risk Assessment & Assurance
- Carry out, review and check fire risk assessments across many different types of buildings.
- Carry out fire risk assessments needed for caravan park licences, where relevant.
- Run a regular programme of inspections, audits and checks, giving senior managers confidence that fire safety is under control.
Systems, Assets & Performance
- Oversee fire safety systems and equipment, making sure they work properly, meet legal requirements, and are well maintained
- Deliver compliance with statutory and regulatory fire checks.
- Monitor fire alarm performance, including false alarms, and take action to improve reliability.
- Review and report on the performance, competence and compliance of external contractors delivering fire safety systems and services.
Policy, Training & Capital Projects
- Help develop and regularly review the company's fire safety policies, procedures and standards.
- Manage fire safety training and fire drills, making sure the team are properly trained and competent.
- Lead on fire safety for building projects on resort, including new builds, refurbishments and alterations.
- Promote a strong fire safety culture across all resort teams.
We would love to hear from anyone operating in a Fire Safety Management role, ideally from leisure, hospitality or tourism — though the industry isn't essential. Membership of a recognised fire safety body, such as the Institution of Fire Engineers or the Institute of Fire Safety Managers, is also helpful but not essential.
You should have excellent working knowledge of UK Fire Safety Law, British Standards, Building Regulations and relevant codes of practice.
Confidence working with senior leaders, and strong communication skills at every level, are essential — as well as a genuine desire to get stuck in and make a difference in an extremely agile business.
An understanding of project delivery, budgetary impact and constraints, and the commercial impact of fire safety decisions.
Competent IT and communication skills, able to write reports and communicate confidently with people at every level, inside and outside the company.
A balanced decision-maker, able to align compliance requirements with operational and commercial realities.
An appropriate qualification (or equivalent) in fire safety would be considered very advantageous, but we would still be open to talking to candidates who would be willing to work towards this with us.
