Health & Safety Advisor in Westbury

Rygor Group is looking for a practical and proactive Health & Safety Advisor to support our multi-site operations. This is a hands-on role, ideal for someone who enjoys being visible on site, building relationships with managers and technicians, and helping embed a positive, proportionate safety culture across the business.

As Health & Safety Advisor, you will act as a key point of contact for health and safety across the business, providing practical, on-site support, advice, and guidance to site teams. You will work closely with managers across the company’s 20+ locations to ensure risks are understood and managed effectively, while supporting compliance with UK health and safety legislation and internal standards.

Where You’ll Add Value

• Add value on a daily basis by supporting managers and technicians with practical, hands-on health and safety advice that enables them to work confidently and safely.
• Contribute to a positive working environment by supporting training, briefings, and continuous learning, helping people feel supported rather than policed.
• Encourage proactive behaviours such as near-miss reporting and good housekeeping, reinforcing a culture where people are recognised for doing the right thing.
• Maintain consistent safety standards across sites through regular visits, inspections, and safety checks, ensuring risks are identified and managed before incidents occur.
• Support sites with robust risk management and safe systems of work, particularly for vehicle maintenance and repair, lifting equipment (LOLER), and hazardous substances (COSHH).
• Provide dependable support during incident and near-miss investigations, including root cause analysis, follow-up actions, and RIDDOR reporting where required.
• Strengthen compliance and assurance through site audits, preparation for external inspections, and ongoing improvement of ISO management systems (ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001).
• Build trusted relationships with site teams by engaging confidently and constructively with managers and technicians at all levels.
• Take a proportionate, practical approach to health and safety that respects operational realities while maintaining high standards.
• Promote environmental responsibility through safe management of waste oils, chemicals, and materials, supporting both people and the wider environment.

Skills & Behaviours Required for this Role:

• NEBOSH General Certificate (or equivalent).
• Full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle, with willingness to travel regularly between sites.
• Experience working in an operational, multi-site environment.
• Practical understanding of risk assessments, safe systems of work, and incident investigation, including RIDDOR reporting.
• Confident, approachable, and able to engage positively with managers and technicians at all levels.
• Practical and hands-on, with a proportionate approach to health and safety.
• Self-motivated and proactive, comfortable managing own workload independently.
• Clear communicator, able to handle incidents and challenging conversations calmly and professionally.
• Fair, consistent, and respectful, building trust and credibility across sites.
• Focused on learning, continuous improvement, and positive safety culture.
• Experience within automotive, workshop, or engineering environments and knowledge of ISO standards (9001, 14001, 45001) would be advantageous.
