The Role
This position is designed for someone who enjoys being embedded with project teams and making safety work in the real world.
You will support multiple construction sites regionally, with a clear emphasis on:

* Challenge unsafe behaviours confidently and constructively
* Promote a proactive, values-led safety culture
Ownership & Accountability
* Take responsibility for safety performance across your region
* Escalate issues where required and drive continuous improvement
About You
You will be a construction-focused H&S professional who is comfortable operating independently on live sites.
Essential
* Strong construction health & safety background
* Experience at Senior Advisor, H&S Manager, or Lead Consultant level
* NEBOSH Construction Certificate
* Confident on site and able to influence operational teams
Desirable
* NEBOSH Diploma or working towards chartership
* Experience engaging with senior management and clients
Package
