The role
Health & Safety Manager
Wallington / Central London | £60,000–£75,000 + Excellent Benefits + Travel Expenses Covered
We're partnering with a growing and highly respected construction business seeking an experienced Health & Safety Manager to take ownership of the company's health and safety function.
This is a fantastic opportunity for a proactive and influential health and safety professional who wants to play a key role in shaping standards, improving processes, and driving a positive safety culture across the business.
Unlike a purely project-focused position, this role combines operational health and safety leadership with site engagement. You'll work closely with the Operations Director, supporting both the strategic and day-to-day management of health and safety across the organisation.
The Role
As Health & Safety Manager, you will be responsible for leading and developing the company's health and safety function, ensuring compliance, continuous improvement, and a strong safety culture across office and site operations.
This is a hybrid role, split approximately 50/50 between the company's Wallington office and project sites across Central London.
Key responsibilities include:
*
Taking ownership of the company's health and safety management system
*
Reviewing, updating, and improving policies, procedures, and processes
*
Conducting regular site inspections, audits, and compliance reviews
*
Providing practical health and safety support to operational teams
*
Working closely with the Operations Director on strategic H&S initiatives
*
Ensuring compliance with current health and safety legislation and industry best practice
*
Supporting risk assessments, method statements, and safe systems of work
*
Investigating incidents, near misses, and implementing corrective actions
*
Delivering toolbox talks, briefings, and safety communications
*
Promoting a positive safety culture throughout the business
*
Acting as the primary health and safety point of contact for the organisation
What We're Looking For
We'd love to hear from candidates with:
*
Proven experience in a Health & Safety Manager or Senior Health & Safety Advisor position
*
Experience within the construction sector
*
NEBOSH General Certificate or NEBOSH Construction Certificate
*
Strong working knowledge of UK health and safety legislation and CDM regulations
*
Experience developing and improving health and safety systems and procedures
*
Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
*
A practical, hands-on approach with the confidence to challenge and influence when required
The following would be advantageous:
*
Membership of IOSH (or working towards)
*
Experience supporting multiple sites or projects
*
Experience working closely with operational leadership teams
Working Pattern
*
Approximately 50% office based in Wallington
*
Approximately 50% site based across Central London
*
Regular interaction with operational and project teams
*
Occasional travel to additional project locations as required
Why Apply?
This is an opportunity to join a growing business where health and safety is genuinely valued and supported at leadership level.
You'll have the autonomy to make improvements, influence decision-making, and build upon existing standards while remaining visible and engaged with site teams.
If you're looking for a role where you can combine strategic responsibility with hands-on operational involvement, we'd love to hear from you
