The Company

This highly regarded mechanical engineering contractor has built a strong reputation for delivering complex mechanical installations across Dublin and the wider Leinster region.

Working across commercial, pharmaceutical, healthcare, industrial and data centre projects, the company is known for its high standards of safety, quality and technical delivery.

With a strong pipeline of projects in Dublin and continued investment in its health and safety systems, they are looking to appoint an experienced Health & Safety Advisor to support their growing project teams.

The Role: Health & Safety Advisor

This is a site-based Health & Safety Advisor position supporting mechanical engineering and building services projects throughout Dublin.

You will work closely with Project Managers, Site Managers, mechanical supervisors and subcontractors to ensure all works are carried out safely and in compliance with Irish health and safety legislation.

The role will involve regular site inspections, risk assessments, audits and safety reporting, with particular attention to mechanical installations, plantrooms, pipework, HVAC systems and associated construction activities.

You will play an important part in maintaining a positive safety culture while supporting project teams in meeting programme and delivery requirements.

Must Have Requirements
  • Must have a recognised Health & Safety qualification, ideally a degree, diploma or equivalent.
  • Minimum 3 years' experience in a Health & Safety Advisor or HSE Officer role within construction or engineering.
  • Proven experience working on construction sites in Ireland is required.
  • Strong working knowledge of Irish health and safety legislation, including the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act and Construction Regulations.
  • Experience carrying out site inspections, reviewing RAMS and managing safety documentation.
Preferred Experience
  • Previous experience with a mechanical contractor or M&E subcontractor.
  • Exposure to pharmaceutical, commercial, industrial or data centre projects.
  • Knowledge of mechanical installation activities including HVAC, pipework and plantroom works.
  • Experience using digital safety reporting and document management systems.
Key Responsibilities
  • Carry out regular site safety inspections, audits and risk assessments across Dublin projects.
  • Ensure compliance with Irish health and safety legislation and company safety procedures. 
  • Review Risk Assessments and Method Statements (RAMS) before works commence.
  • Conduct toolbox talks, site inductions and safety briefings.
  • Monitor subcontractor compliance and ensure safe systems of work are implemented.
  • Support Project Managers and site teams with day-to-day health and safety matters.
  • Investigate incidents, accidents and near misses, ensuring corrective actions are implemented.
  • Maintain accurate safety records, inspection reports and training documentation.
  • Monitor high-risk activities including working at height, lifting operations, hot works and confined space activities.
  • Attend site meetings and provide practical safety advice to management and subcontractors.
  • Promote continuous improvement in health and safety standards across all projects.
About You

You are an experienced Health & Safety Advisor with a practical understanding of construction site operations and the challenges involved in delivering mechanical engineering projects.

You are comfortable dealing with site management, trades and subcontractors, and can communicate safety requirements clearly without unnecessarily disrupting programme delivery.

You will have strong attention to detail, good organisational skills and the confidence to challenge unsafe practices while maintaining positive working relationships on site.

A background in mechanical engineering, building services or M&E construction would be particularly beneficial.

What's on Offer

Salary: Up to €70,000 DOE 

Benefits:

  • Company vehicle or travel allowance, subject to agreement
  • Pension, subject to company scheme
  • Ongoing professional development and training
  • Career progression opportunities
