Job title: SHEQ Coordinator
Location: Brentwood
Salary: £36,600 - £46,000 ( depending on experience) + Benefits
POSITION SUMMARY:
The consultancy is a fast-growing clean technology company driving innovation in hydrogen-based solutions across maritime and industrial sectors. The Technology & Development Centre in Brentwood serves as a key hub for R&D and engineering, housing a dyno test centre, retrofitting workshop, and offices.
The SHEQ Coordinator acts as the local point of contact for all Health, Safety, Environment, and Quality (SHEQ) matters. This role is not responsible for developing independent systems, but for implementing and adapting corporate SHEQ policies, procedures, and tools to suit the UK site’s operations, in full compliance with UK legislation. The role emphasises advisory, coaching, and coordination, promoting a strong SHEQ culture rather than a command-and-control approach.
The SHEQ Coordinator collaborates daily with the Brentwood site’s management and operational teams and works closely with the SHEQ experts in the three global pillars: Maritime, Hydrogen & Ammonia Safety, and Compliance & Training. The role also reports frequently to the SHEQ Manager Workplace Safety & Workforce Regulatory Compliance, based in Antwerp, to ensure alignment with group-wide SHEQ standards and regulatory frameworks. Participation in the SHEQ Community, cross-site audits, and joint SHEQ initiatives is a key part of the role.
ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
Implement and tailor corporate SHEQ policies, procedures, and documentation to meet local operations and UK regulatory requirements.
Develop and maintain site-specific risk assessments and safe systems of work, including support for activities carried out by personnel at third-party locations.
Serve as a coach and adviser to site-based personnel on all SHEQ matters, encouraging ownership and continuous improvement in SHEQ performance.
Coordinate and monitor the safe execution of work by contractors on site, and support staff acting as contractors off-site.
Maintain and regularly update the site emergency plan, based on group guidelines and UK standards, including exercises and follow-up actions.
Organise and deliver induction training, toolbox talks, and awareness sessions, in-house or via external providers. Ensure H&S training records are properly maintained.
Contribute to and attend SHEQ Community meetings within the consultancy, sharing best practices and participating in cross-entity coordination.
Support and lead site inspections and internal audits, including joint audits with colleagues from other locations and business units.
Investigate and report on incidents, near misses, unsafe acts or conditions, and track actions through the group reporting system, aligned with CSRD requirements.
Contribute to SHEQ campaigns, internal communications, and awareness initiatives at the Brentwood site.
Assist with administrative tasks, including document reviews, audit reporting, and maintenance of SHEQ documentation and registers.
Stay informed on UK SHEQ regulations, and coordinate with corporate experts to ensure correct interpretation and application at the site.
Empowered to stop work when SHEQ conditions are not met or pose unacceptable risks.

* Minimum Bachelor’s degree or equivalent through experience in a SHEQ-related field.
