Ever felt like HSE was tolerated, not backed?
As Head of HSE, you'd report straight into the senior leadership team — not sit three layers down from where the real decisions get made. You'd lead the HSE function across every region the business operates in, with a team of HSE Managers and a Sustainability Advisor reporting to you.
You've done your time in construction and engineering HSE and you're done watching safety get treated as a paperwork exercise.
Is this you?
You know CDM and UK H&S legislation inside out. ISO 45001 and 14001 aren't buzzwords to you, they're how you actually run things.
Ideally you see sustainability as more than just tick box exercise with the experience to boot.
And you'd rather fix a recurring risk than write another report about it.
If that's you, keep reading.
What you'll be doing
Setting HSE standards, priorities and culture across every region and project
Owning the audit programme — findings closed out, lessons actually shared
Leading incident investigation and root cause analysis, not just filing it
Coaching project teams and the supply chain to make HSE practical, not theoretical
Managing and developing your own team of HSE Managers and the Sustainability Advisor
Where you'll be doing it The company is a leading engineering contractor with 250 people and offices across England. This year the business reached record turnover — and you'd be the one making sure that growth doesn't outpace safety.
What you'll need
NEBOSH Diploma Level 6 in Occupational Health & Safety
IOSH Membership (Grad IOSH or above)
3+ years senior HSE leadership in Construction or Engineering
Experience leading HSE professionals across multiple projects or regions
CMIOSH, ISO Lead Auditor status or IEMA membership are a bonus, not a requirement — if you've got the core experience, don't rule yourself out
What you'll get
Cash health plan with EAP
4x salary death in service
pension
enhanced maternity & paternity
paid professional subscriptions
cycle to work scheme
gym discount
real training & development — not just a tick-box induction.
