Health & Safety Advisor - Brentwood, Essex
Are you ready to take your Health & Safety career to the next level? Want to work on projects that power communities, protect national infrastructure, and support the UK's transition to sustainable energy?
We're partnering with a leading name in utilities and industrial infrastructure, to find a proactive Health & Safety Advisor to join their compliance team in Brentwood. This is your chance to be the lead safety contact on major utility and infrastructure projects where your decisions directly impact lives, operations, and long-term sustainability.

This company is trusted by clients like National Grid and UK Power Networks to maintain and upgrade critical assets, from transmission towers and substations to water mains and telecom infrastructure.

As the Health & Safety Advisor, you'll be at the centre of this action. You'll help shape safety culture across multiple sites, tackle real-world challenges like working at height, managing high-voltage risks, and ensuring compliance in fast-paced, high-impact settings.

Leading monthly audits of office and yard facilities
Delivering staff inductions and refresher training sessions
Facilitating Emergency First Aid and Water Hygiene training (once qualified)
Leading monthly Toolbox Talks to reinforce safety culture
Managing training records and compliance documentation
Attending internal safety forums and project meetings
Supporting incident investigations and reporting
Acting as cover for the Compliance Manager during absences
What You'll Gain
Exposure to nationally significant infrastructure projects
Experience managing safety in high-risk environments like transmission towers and substations
Opportunities to contribute to environmental and quality assurance initiatives
A company vehicle, fuel card, and competitive salary
A chance to grow within a business known for its safety-first approach and technical excellence

Familiarity with ISO standards (especially ISO 9001)
Confident communicator who can engage teams and lead training
Detail-oriented self-starter with a passion for continuous improvement
