Description

As HSEQ Advisor, you’ll join a respected operationally focused HSEQ function supporting high-risk wastewater works on a fast-paced and technically demanding contract. You’ll be part of a proactive, hands-on team embedded within operations and supported by a national network of 40+ HSEQ professionals across the Network Plus group.

Your day-to-day work will be site-led, directly supporting colleagues delivering deep excavations (typically 4-6m), temporary works, confined space entry, and emergency civil repairs. You’ll coach teams, reinforce safe systems of work, respond rapidly to emerging risks, and help build a culture of safe, right-first-time delivery.

You’ll act as the first point of contact for HSEQ support across the contract, working closely with Project Managers, Supervisors, and Operatives. You’ll also be supported by a highly visible and experienced HSEQ Lead who invests in team development & progression.

If you’re looking for a role where you’ll have impact, visibility, and the chance to grow in a high-risk, fast-moving environment, this role is an excellent opportunity.
