• Assist Contracts Managers with site files and project documentation.
• Assist with Construction Phase Plans (CPPs), risk assessments and method statements (RAMS).
• Monitor compliance, maintain action trackers and report findings to the Directors.
• Support SSIP accreditations, tender submissions and future ISO management system implementation.
• Identify opportunities to improve health and safety and operational processes.

About You:

• Experience in a Health & Safety Manager, Assistant H&S Manager, H&S Advisor or similar role.
• Construction industry experience, particularly site audits and compliance, is highly desirable.
• Good IT skills, including Microsoft Office and digital document management systems.
• Strong communication, organisational and problem-solving skills.
• A proactive approach, with the confidence to challenge poor standards professionally.
• IOSH qualification or membership would be advantageous, but formal qualifications are not essential.

What We Offer:

• Competitive salary of £35,000–£50,000, depending on experience.
• Full-time, permanent employment.
• Hybrid working between the office and construction sites.
• Direct reporting to the Directors.
