Carry out site inspections, audits and risk assessments, ensuring compliance with company procedures and UK legislation. Review and monitor RAMS, permits and safe systems of work. Lead incident and accident investigations and ensure appropriate corrective actions are implemented. Deliver toolbox talks, safety briefings and training where required. Monitor H&S performance and produce reports for senior project and business leadership. Ensure subcontractors and direct delivery teams meet required Health & Safety standards. Identify potential risks and implement practical solutions before they impact project delivery. Build strong relationships with site teams and promote continuous improvement across the project. Candidate Requirements Proven experience in a Health & Safety leadership role within construction. Experience working on large-scale, complex construction projects. Data centre, mission-critical, MEP or major infrastructure experience would be highly advantageous. Experience working within a self-delivery contractor or principal contractor environment. Strong understanding of UK Health & Safety legislation and CDM regulations. NEBOSH Construction Certificate as a minimum; NEBOSH Diploma or equivalent highly desirable.
