An On the wire story
The Building Safety Regulator is seeking specialists from across the built environment to join its Building Advisory Committee, a statutory body that provides independent advice on the regulator’s work.
The vacancies span 12 areas, including built-environment academia, inclusive design, building contracting and services, construction supply chains, fire and structural safety, housing, risk management, higher-risk buildings and registered building inspection. The official recruitment notice sets out the full range of roles.
The committee’s purpose is to bring practical expertise and varied perspectives to decisions affecting building safety. GOV.UK says its work includes advising on how the regulatory system operates, developing evidence-based recommendations on safety and technical standards, and monitoring developments that could affect safety.
The Building Safety Regulator says the committee’s advice is intended to support sound decisions, anticipate risks and help improve standards across the built environment.
Appointments are expected to last three years, with members committing around 15 days a year; the roles are voluntary, although expenses are reimbursed, according to the regulator’s recruitment information. Applications must be submitted by midday on Monday 23 November 2026. Applicants are asked to provide a CV of no more than three pages and a suitability statement of up to 750 words, with interviews expected to begin from 11 January 2027.
Details of the recruitment process are here.
