GTS Transportation is looking for a Health, Safety & Wellbeing Advisor to support a major construction project at Maple Cross.
This is a hands-on site role for someone who can build strong relationships with project teams and help make safe working part of everyday decision-making. You'll offer practical guidance, keep a close eye on site activity and help teams learn from inspections, incidents and workforce feedback.
The opportunity You'll work alongside managers, supervisors, operatives and subcontractors, helping them identify risks early and put effective controls in place. The role covers the full project cycle, from planning work safely through to monitoring construction activity on site.
Your work will include:
- Walking the site regularly to identify risks, check working practices and discuss improvements with the teams carrying out the work.
- Advising on risk assessments, method statements and safe systems of work, and checking that agreed controls are followed.
- Supporting investigations into incidents and near misses, gathering information and helping teams prevent repeat issues.
- Delivering briefings and toolbox talks, and encouraging people to raise safety concerns and share ideas.
- Reviewing HSW records and subcontractor documentation, and helping maintain clear, accurate reporting.
- Supporting audits and assurance reviews, then tracking actions through to completion.
- Contributing to planning and design discussions, particularly where work involves temporary works, lifting, excavations or plant.
- Promoting wellbeing and occupational health initiatives across the workforce.
What you’ll bring You’ll have experience in a construction, civil engineering or infrastructure environment, along with the confidence to speak up, influence safe behaviours and give clear, practical advice.
You’ll also need:
- A NEBOSH General Certificate or equivalent.
- A sound understanding of UK health and safety legislation, including CDM Regulations 2015.
- Experience with site inspections, audits and incident investigations.
- The ability to review safety documentation and use HSW systems and databases.
- Clear communication skills and the ability to work with people at all levels.
- A CSCS card suitable for the role and a full UK driving licence.
- Availability to work full time on site at Maple Cross.
- Competence with Microsoft Office.
Experience on HS2, rail, tunnelling, MEP or other major civil engineering projects would be useful. Progress towards a NEBOSH Diploma or Level 6 qualification, IOSH membership, auditor training, or experience with data and reporting tools would also be an advantage.
Personal approach You’ll be practical, organised and comfortable working across different teams. You’ll take responsibility for following issues through, challenge unsafe practices professionally and contribute to a positive, improvement-focused safety culture.
