Are you a hands on Health & Safety professional who thrives on live construction environments?
This is an opportunity to take ownership of Health & Safety across active construction and installation works, alongside supporting factory-based operations, for a long-established UK manufacturer with a strong regional footprint.
This role needs someone who is comfortable being visible on site, working closely with construction teams, contractors and production staff, and who can balance practical, day-to-day H&S delivery with clear standards and consistent ways of working. You’ll have direct access to senior leadership and real autonomy to influence how safety is delivered on the ground.
What You’ll Be Doing
* Lead Health & Safety across live construction and installation activities, with exposure to associated manufacturing/workshop areas
* Maintain a strong on-site presence, working directly with site teams and contractors
* Review and challenge RAMS, lifting plans, permits to work and subcontractor controls
* Carry out site inspections and audits, addressing issues hands-on and in real time
* Support supervisors and managers through practical coaching, not paperwork-heavy oversight
* Investigate incidents and near misses and ensure learning is embedded on site
What We’re Looking For
* Construction-led H&S experience (housebuilding, installation, contractor-led environments or similar)
* Confident working directly with contractors and subcontractors on live sites
* Strong knowledge of working at height, lifting operations, cranes, scaffolding, plant and traffic management
* Some exposure to manufacturing or workshops (machinery, PUWER, dust, transport) is helpful but not essential
* NEBOSH Construction / Diploma, or NEBOSH Certificate with strong site-based experience
* A practical, grounded approach - comfortable getting stuck in and earning respect on site
What’s On Offer
* A competitive basic salary of £50,000 - £60,000
* Fully funded EV company car (Tesla)
* Mileage reimbursed at HMRC EV rate
* 25 days paid holiday plus bank holidays
* Pension Scheme
* Laptop, phone and travel expenses paid
* 1-2 days per week home working once established
* Flexible working hours around role requirements
Why Join?
* A genuinely hands-on role with real visibility across construction and site operations
* Direct access to senior leadership in a straightforward, no-nonsense environment
* A business that values practical safety over paperwork for the sake of it
* Long-established, stable organisation with ongoing construction and installation activity
* The opportunity to make a visible, day-to-day impact on how Health & Safety is delivered
This is an excellent opportunity for a practical, construction-led Health & Safety professional to step into a visible, influential role with real ownership.
