Contract length: Initial 3 months
Project: HS2 Euston Station
Location: Euston 3/4 days a week on site
We are seeking an experienced Senior Health, Safety, and Security Manager for an interim role on the landmark HS2 Euston station project. This is a client-side position offering a unique opportunity to influence the safety and design of one of the UK's most significant infrastructure projects.
This is an urgent requirement, and we are looking for a "safe pair of hands" to start as soon as possible.
The Role:
Reporting to the interim Head of Health & Safety, you will be responsible for providing expert assurance across the entire Euston station portfolio. You will work collaboratively with the main contractor (MDJV) and their supply chain, ensuring alignment with HS2's standards and deliverables.
Your responsibilities will include:

·Monitoring on-site construction activities, which currently include utilities, excavations, tunnelling, and vibration monitoring.
·Managing interfaces with the public, traffic management, and community engagement through the Euston Partnership (TEP).
·Working with Health and Safety Performance Indicators (HSPIs).
About You:
We are looking for a proactive and influential H&S professional who can quickly embed themselves within the project teams.
·Qualifications: A Level 6 H&S qualification (e.g., NEBOSH Diploma or equivalent) is preferred. However, extensive relevant experience is considered more important than qualifications.
Experience:
oProven experience in complex, fast-paced environments. Backgrounds in major stations, airports, or large-scale mixed-use commercial developments are highly desirable.
oExperience from either a client-side or main contractor background is welcome.
oStrong construction site experience is essential. Experience in design review is also highly beneficial.
oFamiliarity with building regulations and working near the public/children is useful.
oExperience with projects like Crossrail or Tideway is an advantage due to similar terminology.
Skills: Strong leadership, excellent stakeholder management, and the ability to influence design and project teams
