- Conducting site audits, inspections and incident investigations across multiple projects
- Working closely with construction, commercial and project leadership teams to influence safe delivery
- Supporting project mobilisation and demobilisation from a H&S perspective
- Reporting into senior leadership on H&S performance, trends and improvements
The Successful Senior Health & Safety Manager Will Have:
- Proven experience in a Senior / Regional H&S role within construction or mission‑critical environments
- Strong background across large‑scale projects (data centres, pharma, industrial, or major build)
- Ability to manage multiple projects and influence across several site teams simultaneously
- Excellent communication and leadership skills – able to challenge and drive standards at all levels
- NEBOSH Diploma or NVQ Level 6 (or equivalent)
- Strong understanding of RAMS, high‑risk activities and auditing processes
- Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel / stay away as required
This role suits someone who thrives in a fast‑paced, delivery‑focused environment and wants to be part of a business where progression into senior leadership is genuinely achievable.
