About the role…

The SHEQ Coordinator will play a key role in supporting the effective delivery of health, safety, environmental and quality (SHEQ) services by ensuring the smooth running of administrative operations while contributing to wider strategic initiatives.

• Collect and maintain accurate health and safety data, supporting reporting, performance monitoring, and informed decision-making.
• Act as the main point of contact for incident reporting, ensuring reports are completed accurately and corrective actions are tracked.
• Support the planning and delivery of SHEQ training sessions and workshops in collaboration with the wider team.
• Assist in the development and communication of health and safety policies, procedures, and guidance.
• Support compliance activities through audits, inspections, and monitoring of records and regulatory requirements.
• Provide financial administration support, including budget tracking, invoice processing, and monitoring payments.
• Build effective working relationships with stakeholders and respond to enquiries, including those of a sensitive or complex nature.
• Use reporting systems to produce management information, track performance, and highlight areas for improvement to senior colleagues.

About you…

You are organised, adaptable and able to manage competing priorities in a busy environment. With strong communication skills and a proactive, problem-solving approach, you work well under pressure and bring a flexible attitude to a varied workload. A full driving license is required.
