Coordinate and monitor the safe execution of work by contractors on site, and support staff acting as contractors off-site.
Maintain and regularly update the site emergency plan, based on group guidelines and UK standards, including exercises and follow-up actions.
Organise and deliver induction training, toolbox talks, and awareness sessions, in-house or via external providers. Ensure H&S training records are properly maintained.
Contribute to and attend SHEQ Community meetings within the company group, sharing best practices and participating in cross-entity coordination.
Support and lead site inspections and internal audits, including joint audits with colleagues from other locations and business units.
Investigate and report on incidents, near misses, unsafe acts or conditions, and track actions through the group reporting system, aligned with CSRD requirements.
Contribute to SHEQ campaigns, internal communications, and awareness initiatives at the Brentwood site.
Assist with administrative tasks, including document reviews, audit reporting, and maintenance of SHEQ documentation and registers.
Stay informed on UK SHEQ regulations, and coordinate with corporate experts to ensure correct interpretation and application at the site.
Empowered to stop work when SHEQ conditions are not met or pose unacceptable risks.
SHEQ Coordinator requirements:
Minimum Bachelor’s degree or equivalent through experience in a SHEQ-related field.
At least 3 years of relevant experience in a SHEQ role, ideally within engineering, R&D, or industrial operations.
Holds a NEBOSH Certificate or an equivalent recognised qualification in health, safety, or environment.
Proven experience in the implementation and maintenance of SHEQ procedures and management systems, in alignment with UK legislation; knowledge or awareness of European legislation is considered an asset.
Experience working with engineering safety, including high-pressure systems, technical drawings, and flow diagrams.
Skilled in conducting and supporting risk assessments, inspections, and internal audits.
Effective in training delivery, documentation, coaching, and promoting a positive safety culture across teams.
Strong organisational, communication, and document management skills, with a collaborative approach to working with both UK and European stakeholders.
Proficient in Microsoft Office applications (Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Outlook) and SharePoint.
Able to work full-time onsite at the Essex facility, in a mix of office and workshop environments.
