The project involves a complex construction and M&E environment, giving you exposure to a wide range of activities and contractors.
This would suit an experienced H&S Advisor who enjoys being visible on site, engaging with people and taking a practical approach to Health & Safety. It would also be a strong opportunity for someone looking to develop towards a more senior H&S position while working under an experienced manager.

* Work closely with subcontractor supervisors, site managers and project management teams
* Support H&S meetings, inductions, toolbox talks and safety briefings
* Review and monitor permits to work and ensure they are being correctly implemented
* Carry out hazard identification and risk assessments across construction activities
* Support accident, incident and near-miss investigations and follow corrective actions through to completion
* Assist with LOLER, PUWER and other statutory inspection requirements
* Maintain accurate H&S records, reports, registers and site documentation
* Support the H&S Manager with project policies, procedures and continuous improvement initiatives
* Keep up to date with relevant legislation and industry best practice
* Work closely with Project Managers, Construction Managers, Package Managers and Supervisors to resolve H&S issues
* Promote strong workforce engagement and encourage issues to be raised and addressed early
What you'll need
* Previous experience as a Health & Safety Advisor or similar within UK construction
* NEBOSH General or Construction Certificate – essential
* NEBOSH Diploma or currently working towards one – desirable
* IOSH / IIRSM membership – desirable
* 3–8 years' H&S experience
* Experience within construction, M&E, data centres or other technically complex projects
* Strong experience carrying out site inspections, audits and H&S reviews
* Good knowledge of RAMS and safe systems of work
* Confidence dealing with subcontractors, supervisors and construction management
* Good understanding of UK H&S legislation, including CDM
* Experience delivering inductions, toolbox talks and safety briefings
