• Provide practical HSE guidance and support throughout all stages of project delivery
• Deliver toolbox talks, inductions, and safety briefings to site personnel
• Assist with environmental management initiatives and promote sustainable working practices
• Support audit programmes and help maintain readiness for client, regulatory, and certification audits
• Build strong working relationships with stakeholders and contribute to the development of a positive behavioural safety culture
• Maintain accurate HSE records, reports, and performance data

What you will need to succeed:

• Previous experience within a Health & Safety, HSE, or SHEQ role, ideally within construction, engineering, infrastructure, utilities, or energy-related sectors
• Strong understanding of Health & Safety legislation and its practical application on project sites
• Experience carrying out audits, inspections, risk assessments, and incident investigations
• Knowledge of CDM regulations and contractor management principles
• Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills
• Ability to influence positive safety behaviours and promote a proactive safety culture
• Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities effectively

• Experience working on decarbonisation, renewable energy, energy transition, or infrastructure projects
