What We Do:
We provide fully integrated renewable energy solutions, from design and installation through to long-term operation and maintenance, supporting public and commercial organisations across the UK and Ireland. By delivering Heat as a Service, we provide reliable, low-carbon heating infrastructure, offering a fully managed solution that supports our client's decarbonisation goals in transitioning to sustainable heating. We take genuine pride in the long-standing relationships we have built, working closely with our clients as trusted partners and continuing to support them on their journey towards net zero.
Role Overview:
Based in Birmingham and reporting to the HSE Manager – Business Units 1 & 3, you will provide hands-on HSE support across two areas of the business:
Business Unit 1 – Decarbonisation: Supporting the safe planning and delivery of decarbonisation projects throughout Great Britain, from design and offsite prefabrication through to onsite installation.

This is a site-facing role with regular travel to project sites and service and maintenance locations. You will carry out inspections and audits, advise teams on risk controls, investigate incidents and help turn lessons learned into practical improvements.
Working alongside your manager and the wider HSE team, you will help translate legal requirements, client expectations and company procedures into clear, workable arrangements. Your ability to build relationships and engage people will be central to strengthening our safety culture across both business units.

- Drive continuous improvement: Promote consistent HSE practices and practical improvements as both business units grow.
