The Role

We are recruiting for an experienced Health & Safety Manager to take the lead on Health, Safety & Environmental standards across a growing business operating within electrical, energy, solar and construction projects.

This is a varied role combining office-based responsibilities with regular site visits. You’ll work closely with Directors, Project Managers, engineers, site teams and subcontractors to ensure projects are delivered safely and compliantly.

Rather than simply policing Health & Safety, we’re looking for someone who can provide practical, commercially sensible advice, improve existing processes and help build an even stronger safety culture across the business.

You’ll have genuine scope to influence how HS&E is managed and introduce new ideas and improvements.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and continually improve the company’s HS&E strategy, policies and procedures
• Carry out site inspections, audits and Health & Safety reviews
• Review and support RAMS, risk assessments and safe systems of work
• Advise Project Managers and site teams on practical Health & Safety solutions
• Support Construction Phase Plans and CDM compliance
• Monitor subcontractor and supply chain Health & Safety standards
• Lead or support investigations into accidents, incidents and near misses
• Deliver toolbox talks, inductions, briefings and safety communications
• Identify training requirements and maintain competency records
• Maintain company accreditations and compliance systems
• Support the development of an ISO 45001-aligned management system
• Monitor HS&E performance and recommend improvements
• Keep the business updated on relevant legislation and industry best practice

About You

You’ll ideally have Health & Safety experience within construction, engineering, electrical contracting, M&E, building services, energy or renewables.

You should be confident working both on-site and with senior management and comfortable challenging unsafe practices while maintaining positive working relationships.

Essential

• NEBOSH Certificate or equivalent
• Previous Health & Safety experience within construction, engineering or a related environment
• Good knowledge of UK Health & Safety legislation
• Experience with RAMS, risk assessments, audits and site inspections
• Full UK Driving Licence
• Strong communication and organisational skills

Desirable

• NEBOSH Construction qualification
• IOSH membership/qualification
• Knowledge of CDM 2015
• Experience with ISO 45001
• M&E, electrical, energy or renewable energy experience
• Experience with Constructionline or similar accreditation systems

If you’re an experienced Health & Safety professional looking for a role where you can have a genuine influence on standards, culture and working practices, we’d like to hear from you.
