5V Tech is partnered with a UK clean-tech scale-up working in the circular economy for critical minerals. Due to their growth, they are looking for a hands‑on Health & Safety Advisor to join its pilot processing site.
You will have real ownership of day‑to‑day safety on a live chemical processing site, with the freedom to build practical systems that work for a fast‑moving business rather than copy‑and‑paste templates.
What you'll be working on:
- Leading day‑to‑day health and safety delivery on site, keeping things compliant and practical as operations scale
- Running gap analyses against regulatory standards and best practice, then putting clear corrective plans in place
- Owning COSHH management, including assessments, controls, training and monitoring
- Adapting ISO principles into simple, scalable safety systems
- Delivering training, briefings and toolbox talks, and being a visible, approachable presence on site
- Working with managers and teams across the site to build shared ownership of safety
What they're looking for:
- NEBOSH General Certificate or equivalent
- Strong working knowledge of UK H&S legislation, including HASAWA, COSHH, COMAH and DSEAR
- Practical COSHH experience in a chemical processing or similar industrial environment
- Experience in an industrial setting where safety had to keep pace with operational change
- Confidence communicating at all levels and turning complex requirements into clear actions
- Full UK driving licence and own transport for travel between sites
Bonus points for:
- NEBOSH Diploma or equivalent
- IOSH membership (or willingness to obtain)
- Experience in a start‑up or scale‑up environment
Important things to know:
- This is a fully onsite role in Plymouth
- You'll need to travel between business sites
