Are you a proactive construction safety leader or an ambitious senior advisor who knows how to step onto an active site, build strong working relationships, and drive safety standards from the ground up?
A leading principal contractor is looking for a Health & Safety Manager to support departmental leadership in delivering health and safety strategy across multiple high-profile construction projects.
We don't just need an auditor we need an approachable, forward-thinking safety champion who can act as a catalyst for continuous improvement while upholding core values of Trust, Passion, and Respect.
The Health & Safety Manager Will:
- Operational Assurance: Conduct site audits and inspections, review RAMS, track corrective actions, and oversee Principal Contractor and CDM arrangements across active sites.
- Manage High-Risk Controls: Review and monitor arrangements for critical operations, including work at height, lifting, excavations, temporary works, and live services.
- Drive Culture & Engagement: Partner closely with site operational teams, subcontractors, and suppliers to deliver practical advice, provide toolbox talks, and encourage hazard and near-miss reporting.
- Incident Investigation & IMS: Lead root-cause investigations, share safety alerts, and collaborate with internal compliance and quality teams to support Integrated Management Systems (ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001).
- Environmental & Health Risks: Oversee occupational health controls (respirable crystalline silica, noise, vibration) and site environmental standards (waste, spill control, dust, and emissions).
The Health & Safety Manager Ideally Has:
- Proven health and safety experience across multiple construction projects, ideally within a principal contractor environment.
- NEBOSH General Certificate in Health and Safety or Construction.
- Valid CSCS card, a full driving licence, and willingness to travel between sites.
