An excellent opportunity for an experienced Health & Safety Manager to join a fantastic, growing SME main contractor with an outstanding team culture and strong reputation across the social housing new build sector.
This is a business that prides itself on collaboration, professionalism and delivering high-quality residential projects. With a strong pipeline of work across the M4 corridor, they are now looking to appoint a Health & Safety Manager to work closely with operational teams and help drive best practice across the business.

You will take ownership of health and safety strategy, systems and site performance across the business while supporting project teams to ensure best practice is embedded across all sites.
This is not a “policing” role. The company is specifically looking for someone who can build rapport, credibility and respect with site and operational teams, working collaboratively to improve standards and drive a positive safety culture.
You will be expected to lead from the front, provide practical support to projects and be comfortable getting into the detail when required.
