- Guide the team in supporting accident and incident investigations, ensuring accurate reporting and strong learning outcomes.
- Provide strategic Health, Safety and Wellbeing input into tenders and bids, aligning safety commitments with commercial and operational expectations.
- Ensure the team effectively assesses external working environments, supporting safe planning and delivery.
- Monitor the H&S management system, identifying gaps and leading the development of improvements.
- Drive the implementation of new initiatives, sharing best practice and embedding consistent ways of working.
- Lead communication of new legislation, standards or working practices, ensuring your team cascades these clearly and effectively.
- Champion our behavioural and cultural change programme - ThinkSafe, embedding it through your team and across operations.
- Promote a positive reporting culture, ensuring Safety Observations and Hazard Reports are encouraged, captured and acted upon.
We'd love to hear from you if you can demonstrate...

- A Level 6 Health & Safety Diploma (or currently working towards it), with appropriate professional membership such as IOSH, IIRSM or equivalent.
- A NEBOSH Certification and CSCS Card.
- Relevant industry experience (utilities, infrastructure, construction, or similar).
- Creativity and originality in your approach, combined with solid Health & Safety expertise.
- Prevoius managerial Experience leading a team of H&S Advisors, or a strong desire and readiness to step into a leadership role.
- Exceptional communication skills with high emotional intelligence, enabling you to adapt your message so it lands positively and has impact.
