Senior Health, Safety and Fire Consultant
Liquid
Leeds / York | Up to circa £70,000 package | Permanent | Flexible working
Liquid is recruiting a Senior Health, Safety and Fire Consultant for a well-established specialist consultancy delivering health, safety, fire and risk services across commercial, residential and higher-risk building environments.
This is a strong opportunity for an experienced H&S and fire professional who wants more than a narrow inspection role. You will be joining a business with a strong technical reputation, a collaborative culture and a genuine focus on raising safety standards across the built environment.
The company works with a broad mix of clients, from major commercial organisations to residential property providers, giving you variety, senior-level responsibility and the chance to influence how safety is managed in practice. Not just another role where reports disappear into a folder and are never seen again.
The opportunity As Senior Health, Safety and Fire Consultant, you will lead a range of consultancy projects across health, safety, fire and risk management.
You will support clients with the design and implementation of effective safety management systems, carry out audits and inspections, advise on UK legislation and good practice, and help organisations improve how they manage risk across their buildings, operations and teams.
The role has a strong client-facing element, so it will suit someone who enjoys technical work but can also explain complex issues clearly and practically.
Why this role stands out This is a business that invests in its people and gives consultants the room to develop. You will be part of an experienced technical team, with access to senior expertise, structured competency frameworks and clear development pathways.
There is scope to grow your technical specialism, work towards Chartered status, support junior colleagues, contribute to service development and progress into more senior technical or leadership responsibilities over time.
You will also have flexibility in how you work, with a role based around the Leeds / York area, client visits, home working and team collaboration.
