* Work alongside the Group HSE Manager on wider HSE initiatives

What Good Looks Like
* Strong presence on site with visible safety leadership
* KPIs improving and risks being proactively managed
* Operational teams engaged and taking ownership of safety
* Systems embedded in practice, not just compliance driven

Requirements
* NEBOSH General Certificate (essential)

* Organised, proactive, and able to manage own workload
