About Salus
Salus is a national Registered Building Control Approver with over 23 years’ experience delivering building control and fire safety services. More than 95% of our work is in the commercial sector. Following our transition to an Employee Ownership Trust in 2025, we have restructured our leadership team and continue to see strong demand for our services. As a result, we are looking to appoint an Associate Director who is a Registered Building Inspector (RBI) to our senior leadership team, alongside experienced RBIs for our regional teams.
What makes this opportunity different?
Salus is a friendly, professional, employee-owned company, run by experienced Registered Building Inspectors for the benefit of its people. We are a highly respected Registered Building Control Approver with many long-serving colleagues and a collaborative culture where employee contributions are valued and rewarded through shared success. We are committed to supporting colleagues at every stage of their career. We develop talent from within and actively support progression, including clear routes into senior management and future leadership roles for those who wish to follow that path.
What does employee ownership mean for you?
Salus is owned on behalf of its employees through an Employee Ownership Trust. This provides long-term stability, with no exit plans, private equity ownership or short-term disruption. It also gives employees a shared stake in the company’s success, with company performance benefiting employees collectively. RBIs have professional independence, with decisions guided by safety, compliance and quality and the opportunity for long-term career development, focused on developing people rather than simply filling roles.

For more than 20 years, we have built our reputation on delivering a professional, pragmatic, and technically robust service across the commercial, industrial, residential, healthcare, education, and public sectors. Over 95% of our work supports the commercial construction market, from small-scale developments to complex, high-risk and multi-disciplinary projects.
Our approach is founded on a simple principle: Compliance Without Complexity. We work with developers, contractors, designers, and dutyholders to achieve compliance with Building Regulations and Building Safety legislation while maintaining a practical, solutions-focused approach.
Our team includes highly experienced Registered Building Inspectors, Building Control Surveyors, Fire Engineers, and Building Regulation Consultants. Through our network of regional offices, we provide comprehensive coverage across England and Wales, combining local knowledge with national technical expertise and support.
Unlike many organisations, we do not rely on part-time consultant surveyors. This allows us to deliver consistency, accountability, and continuity throughout every project.
Why Join Salus?
At Salus, our people are at the heart of everything we do. We are proud to be an employee-owned business, operating under an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) since 2025. This means the company is owned for the benefit of its employees rather than external shareholders or investors.

Whether you are an experienced Registered Building Inspector or looking to advance your career in building control, Salus offers an opportunity to develop within a respected and growing organisation where your expertise is genuinely valued.

- Opportunities throughout England and Wales.
- The stability and long-term vision of an employee-owned business.
- A culture built on trust, accountability, and professional excellence.
A Culture of Professional Excellence
The regulatory landscape continues to evolve, particularly following the introduction of the Building Safety Act and the enhanced role of the Building Safety Regulator. At Salus, we embrace these changes and provide our inspectors with the training, resources, and technical support needed to operate confidently within the evolving regulatory framework.
We recognise that professional independence and sound judgement are fundamental to effective building control. Our culture empowers inspectors to make decisions that prioritise safety, compliance, and the public interest.
Build Your Future with Salus
If you are seeking a new challenge, greater professional development, or the opportunity to work within an employee-owned organisation that values technical excellence, Salus could be the right next step for you.
