• Work collaboratively with the Head of HS&E to develop, review, and communicate HS&E policies, safe systems of work, and procedures, ensuring they remain compliant, accessible, and operationally relevant.
• Follow / adhere to the structured programme of HS&E audits, inspections and checks, ensuring outcomes are documented, shared and acted upon promptly.
• Partner with the Head of HS&E and HR to report monthly progress to the SLT.
• Act as a subject matter expert for SafetyCulture and Easycompli, ensuring managers and teams have the right access, complete actions, and receive accurate monthly progress reporting.
