Health And Safety Advisor

Health and Safety Advisor – Civils / Streetworks

This is a strong opportunity for a developing Health and Safety professional to continue progressing their career within a growing civils and streetworks environment.

The Role

The position will involve a mix of working from home and travelling to sites, so a full UK driving licence is essential.

You will work closely with site teams and senior management to promote a positive health and safety culture, provide practical guidance, complete inspections and audits, and ensure standards are being maintained across multiple live environments.

You will also need to hold a NEBOSH Certificate or equivalent qualification, along with a good working knowledge of relevant health and safety legislation, SHEQ standards and best practice.

This role would suit someone who is proactive, engaging and confident working with site-based teams. You do not need to be the finished article, but you will need to be credible, organised and comfortable managing your own diary across multiple locations.
