Job Description

SHEQ Manager

Gatwick (Hybrid, with travel)

About the role:

We’re looking for an experienced SHEQ Manager to take ownership of Safety, Health, Environment, and Quality across a leading group working in critical environments. As a senior member of the team, you’ll ensure compliance with all safety legislation, embed policies and practices, and introduce new standards where needed.

This role plays a key part within delivery and operational teams — not only creating safe working environments for all stakeholders, but also developing dedicated plans, processes, and procedures that suit the demands of complex, business-critical projects.

It’s essential to be fully integrated across all levels of the business — influencing project planning from the outset, making sure sufficient time and resources are allocated for training, review, and safe execution in collaboration with internal teams and clients.

You’ll also take the lead on monthly SHEQ reporting and meetings: tracking performance against KPIs (AF/IR, near misses, inspections, supply chain assessments), following up on improvement actions, and supporting the wider group’s operational needs.

Key competencies:

Thorough and proactive in site inspections, reporting, and implementing improvements

Skilled in developing and embedding health & safety strategies, plans, and procedures

Able to analyse data to identify recurring issues and mitigate risk

Strong time and priority management across multiple business units

Proven track record of driving continuous improvement and positive cultural change

Required qualifications & experience:

Recognised Competent Person status

NEBOSH Certificate in Construction Health & Safety

In-depth knowledge of CDM and relevant standards and regulations

Membership of an appropriate industry association

Experience in data centres or other critical environments

Flexibility to travel frequently within the UK and occasionally overseas
