Head of Environment, Health, and Safety in London

About the Opportunity:

Regen Solutions is proud to partner with one of the UK’s most forward-thinking and rapidly growing building maintenance, refurbishment, and retrofit providers. Driven by ambitious expansion plans, our client delivers critical end-to-end services across social housing and public sector frameworks nationwide. As they continue to scale, they are looking for a visionary, strategic leader to join them as Regional Head of SHEQ. Reporting directly to the Regional Managing Director, you will provide professional, visible leadership, defining the safety, health, environmental, and quality vision for the entire group.

The Role:

This is not a purely observational compliance role. As the Regional Head of SHEQ, you will hold ultimate accountability for the region’s Integrated Management System (IMS), establishing a high-performance SHEQ culture that scales seamlessly with business growth.

• Strategy & Executive Governance: Define and deliver the SHEQ Strategy aligned with corporate risk appetite. Act as the ultimate technical authority, advising the Board, Executive Team, and Managing Directors.
• Compliance & Quality Assurance: Maintain, evolve, and ensure absolute compliance with UK H&S legislation, environmental law, and client contract demands across ISO 45001, 14001, and 9001.
• Risk & CDM Oversight: Act as the senior oversight for high-risk operations and complex live assets, ensuring robust Construction Design and Management (CDM 2015) compliance across all roles.
• Cultural Transformation: Sponsor behavioural safety and green initiatives across the workforce and supply chain, championing a "right first time" operational culture.
• Incident & Crisis Response: Lead the investigation and reporting framework for serious incidents (including RIDDOR) and manage group-level emergency preparedness.
• Digital Innovation: Leverage data-driven insights and modern software tools to predict risks, target operational interventions, and drive measurable continuous improvement.

What You Will Need to Succeed:

We are looking for an executive-level operator who commands professional credibility and balances rigorous compliance with commercial pragmatism.

• NEBOSH Diploma (or equivalent degree-level qualification).
• Chartered membership of IOSH (CMIOSH) or actively progressing toward it is highly desirable.

• A proven track record in a senior, group-level, or multi-regional SHEQ leadership role within the UK construction, social housing maintenance, or built environment sectors.

• Deep knowledge of CDM Regulations 2015 and a flawless record of maintaining accredited Integrated Management Systems (ISO 9001/14001/45001).

• Environmental competence (IEMA or equivalent) with a modern understanding of sustainability, carbon reduction, and green retrofitting.

• Exceptional communication skills with the confidence to influence, challenge, and advise at Board and Executive level.

• Highly Competitive Salary
• Life Assurance Cover
