The Building Safety Regulator (BSR) Building Advisory Committee (BAC) is looking for an independent chair with the proven leadership, to drive this important committee forward to meet its aims and objectives. This is an ongoing fixed term appointment, which can be held for the maximum of 3 years.
The Building Safety Act 2022 (the Act) established the BSR in England, with a responsibility to facilitate improvement in the standard and safety of all buildings.
To do this, the Act enabled the BSR to establish a BAC to provide advice to BSR on any building functions, except those functions relating to competence of persons in the built environment industry and Registered Building Inspectors.
The BAC delivers its functions through a high-level steering group, which oversees a number of separate subgroups, focussing on specific areas of work within the BAC remit, such as new and emerging issues, trends and innovations across the built environment and advising the BSR on its engagement across the industry to inspire change.
Please be advised that work is currently underway to transfer the Building Safety Regulator out of HSE to Ministry for Housing, Communities, and Local Government (MHCLG) as a Non-crown, Non-Departmental Public Body. This change will take effect during 2026.
