Location: Canary Wharf, London (E14 5RE) / Hybrid Working
Salary: Competitive + Benefits
Job Type: Full-Time, Permanent

About the Company

Our client is a growing Health & Safety consultancy providing practical and tailored safety solutions to businesses across construction, education, retail, and commercial sectors. They have built a strong reputation for delivering straightforward, compliant, and effective advice that helps clients maintain safe working environments and meet their legal obligations.

Due to continued growth, they are looking to recruit an experienced Health & Safety Advisor to join their team.

The Role

This is a varied and client-facing role supporting a portfolio of construction and commercial clients throughout London and the South East. You will be responsible for conducting site inspections, producing detailed reports, providing ongoing health and safety advice, and helping clients achieve and maintain compliance with current legislation and industry best practice.

You will act as a trusted advisor, building strong relationships with clients and providing practical solutions to health and safety challenges. The role will involve a mixture of client site visits, office-based work in Canary Wharf, and home working.

Key Responsibilities

You will carry out regular site inspections and audits, identifying hazards and areas for improvement while ensuring clients remain compliant with health and safety legislation. Following inspections, you will prepare detailed reports and provide practical recommendations to support corrective actions.

You will act as a key point of contact for clients, offering day-to-day advice and guidance on health and safety matters, reviewing risk assessments, method statements, policies, and procedures, and supporting clients with maintaining relevant certifications and accreditations.

The role will also involve delivering health and safety training, conducting accident and incident investigations where required, and keeping clients informed of legislative updates and industry developments. From time to time, you will also support non-construction clients with audits, inspections, and compliance monitoring activities.

About You

To be considered, you will hold a NEBOSH General Certificate (or equivalent) and have previous experience in a Health & Safety Advisor, Consultant, or similar position. You will possess a strong understanding of UK health and safety legislation, along with experience carrying out audits, inspections, and risk assessments.

You will be confident communicating with clients at all levels, producing high-quality reports, and providing practical, commercially focused advice. A full UK driving licence is essential due to the travel requirements of the role.

Additional qualifications such as NEBOSH Construction, NEBOSH Fire, IOSH membership, or previous consultancy experience would be advantageous but are not essential.

Benefits

The successful candidate will receive private medical insurance, a company pool vehicle for business travel, fuel costs covered, a company Mastercard for expenses, and a company mobile phone. The business also offers hybrid working, flexible hours, 20 days annual leave plus Bank Holidays, additional leave during the Christmas shutdown, ongoing professional development, and the opportunity to work with a diverse range of clients in a supportive and collaborative environment.
