Leeds · Permanent
Health and Safety Advisor (NEBOSH) - Renewables
Salary: £50K - £55K
Location: Remote / home-based, within reach of Leeds for office visits
If you have kept big, complex construction sites safe, you can do it on the sites that power the grid.
Solar farms, wind farms and battery energy storage (BESS) are being built at scale, and they need H&S advisers who know what a serious construction site demands. Groundworks, heavy plant, high voltage, lifting, remote locations and large workforces. You may have met many of these already in water, electrical infrastructure, oil and gas or major construction.
This is a chance to take that experience into renewables, where the build is large, the pace is real and your judgement counts.
Why this role
Utility-scale projects are where renewable energy actually gets built. You will be part of the effort to bring generation and storage onto the grid, and you will have a direct say in how safely it happens.
What you'll do
You will advise project teams and principal contractors on utility-scale solar, wind and BESS construction. That means reviewing risk assessments and method statements, supporting CDM compliance, inspecting live sites, investigating incidents and helping teams put practical controls in place. You will be the person who spots the problem early and explains it plainly.
The role is home-based. You will visit sites in reach of Leeds, so you need to live where that is realistic.
About the company
You will join a global energy solutions business that delivers decarbonisation and renewable energy projects. Safe delivery matters as much as getting the project built.
About you
You hold the NEBOSH General Certificate. You have H&S experience in at least one of these: water, electrical infrastructure, oil and gas, or general large-scale construction. You are comfortable on large, active sites and confident speaking to site managers and contractors. You can manage your own diary and work well from home between visits.
Renewables experience is not essential. Your site experience is what counts, and the sector knowledge can be learned.
Rewards & growth
You will gain hands-on experience in solar, wind and BESS construction, some of the most sought-after skills in H&S today. Details of the package will be confirmed when we speak.
