  • Preparing and updating Risk Assessments, Method Statements, and EHSQ documentation.

  • Supporting continuous improvement initiatives across safety, environmental performance, and build quality.

  • Engaging with project teams and subcontractors to promote best practices and a proactive culture on site.

  • Providing training to staff and operatives on EHSQ procedures.


What You’ll Bring:
  • A third-level qualification in Environmental Health, Occupational Safety, Construction Management or a related field.

  • IOSH membership or equivalent (preferred).

  • Strong IT skills, particularly in Microsoft Office and mobile-based site apps.

  • Confident communicator with the ability to influence and lead on-site EHSQ initiatives.
