The Role
An opportunity has arisen for a Systems & Compliance Manager to join a growing building services and asset management contractor operating across regulated construction sectors. Reporting directly to the Managing Director, this role is central to ensuring business systems, compliance frameworks and operational processes support statutory compliance, audit readiness and business growth.

The business delivers fire safety, security, M&E compliance and planned maintenance services across commercial property, utilities, residential and public sector environments. A key focus of this role is the practical use of AI and automation to reduce manual administration, improve data accuracy and strengthen compliance reporting.

Key responsibilities are split into three areas:

• Business Systems and AI Improvement
  Owning and improving core business systems supporting project delivery, asset management, field service and compliance reporting. Leading the identification and implementation of AI tools and automation to streamline workflows, improve document control and enhance reporting accuracy. Acting as the internal lead for system use, training and best practice.
• Compliance and Accreditations
  Managing trade accreditations and compliance schemes within a regulated construction environment. Maintaining policies, procedures and audit evidence, coordinating audits and inspections, and ensuring ongoing compliance with industry standards and contractual obligations.
• Office and Operational Support
  Providing operational and administrative support to senior management. Maintaining staff, subcontractor and supplier compliance records, coordinating training documentation and supporting office management from the Burgess Hill head office, with occasional UK travel including to the London office.

Requirements
Experience managing business systems and compliance processes within a regulated, construction or building services environment is desirable. A genuine interest in AI, automation and technology-led process improvement is essential, with the ability to apply tools in a practical, operational setting. You will be highly organised, detail-focused and confident working independently while supporting audits, documentation and system governance. Strong written communication skills are required.
This role could suit someone who has worked as a Compliance Manager, Systems Manager or Operations Support Manager.
