About the Role

This position has become available due to a long-serving employee retiring, leaving behind a well-structured function and strong internal relationships. You’ll be stepping into a supportive SME environment where you’re valued as the go to expert (hence why experience is essential) — not as someone expected to “reinvent everything,” but as the steady, knowledgeable professional who keeps things running safely, smoothly and legally.

The focus here is collaboration, communication, and practical, proportionate safety management.

Key Responsibilities

Key Responsibilities

  • Carry out regular Health & Safety audits across multiple sites, ensuring clear and timely reporting.
  • Support and guide internal teams in maintaining safe working practices.
  • Coach and upskill colleagues and subcontractors through toolbox talks, feedback sessions and on site engagement.
  • Assist with Risk Assessments and Method Statements.
  • Ensure incidents and accidents are appropriately investigated and reported.
  • Attend safety meetings, client visits and awareness sessions, representing the business positively.
  • Provide clear, confident advice to leadership, project teams and operational staff.
  • Maintain and continually develop the company’s Health & Safety culture—practical, people-focused and fully compliant.

Key Skills and Qualifications

What our Client is Looking For

  • Experience in a similar Health & Safety role—ideally with multi-site exposure.
  • Someone who builds genuine rapport with colleagues and clients.
  • Strong communication and influencing skills, with a calm and collaborative approach.
  • Confidence in carrying out audits, assessments, incident investigations and delivering H\&S guidance.
  • Relevant qualifications  NEBOSH in Construction (or equivalent). IOSH Membership, COSHH
  • Resilience, integrity and the ability to balance legal requirements with operational realities.
  • A team player mindset—approachable, supportive, and committed to continuous improvement.

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Join a stable, people oriented SME where your expertise is respected.
  • Step into a well-established role with strong foundations—not a broken system needing radical overhaul.
  • Work with colleagues and clients who value partnership over policing.
  • Enjoy autonomy, variety and managing a small friendly team.
