About the Role:
As the Health & Safety Advisor, you will play a pivotal role in ensuring a safe working environment across the company’s projects. While a construction background is preferred, our client is willing to provide industry-specific training for candidates with relevant Health & Safety experience.

Key Responsibilities:

• Investigate accidents, incidents, and near-misses, identifying root causes and implementing corrective actions.
• Maintain up-to-date knowledge of current H&S legislation and ensure the business is always compliant.

Key Requirements:

• Previous experience working in a Health & Safety role, ideally within construction (although this is not essential).
• NEBOSH or IOSH qualification is essential.
• Strong knowledge of Health & Safety regulations and best practices.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to influence and engage with people at all levels.
• Full UK driving licence, as travel to sites will be required (1-2 times per month).

What’s on Offer:

• Competitive salary of £30,000 - £35,000, depending on experience.
• Full training and development in the construction industry, if required.
• The opportunity to work for a growing, family-run business with a supportive work culture.

This is a great opportunity for a Health & Safety professional looking to build a long-term career in a reputable and growing business. If you have the qualifications and experience in H&S, but are looking for a new challenge or the chance to break into the construction sector, we encourage you to apply.
