  * Deliver training, toolbox talks, and awareness initiatives to promote a positive safety culture.

  * Monitor legislative changes and industry developments, ensuring the business remains compliant and aligned with best practice.

  * Produce reports, compliance documentation, and performance data to support operational and management decision-making.

  * Work collaboratively with project teams to drive continual improvement and promote safe working practices throughout the organisation.

Candidate Profile

The ideal candidate will possess:

  * Proven Health & Safety experience within the construction industry, with exposure to multiple sectors and project types.

  * Strong working knowledge of current Health & Safety legislation, regulations, and industry best practice.

  * Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to influence and engage stakeholders at all levels.

  * A proactive, organised, and solutions-focused approach to Health & Safety management.

  * Experience balancing site-based responsibilities with office-based compliance, reporting, and administrative duties.

  * Relevant professional qualifications, including NEBOSH and/or IOSH certification.

What They Offer

  * The opportunity to join a progressive and growing contractor with a strong commitment to Health & Safety excellence.

  * A collaborative and supportive working environment where Health & Safety is recognised as a critical operational function.

  * Exposure to a varied portfolio of projects across multiple sectors.
