Assisting with environmental and quality-assurance processes as required.

Promoting a proactive safety culture and driving continuous improvement across all projects.

Supporting project teams with client audits, documentation requests and compliance reporting.

Working closely with operational leaders to embed good practice and maintain high standards across all sites.

What you will need to succeed:

Minimum 5 years' experience in a safety advisory or SHEQ role.

Strong background within the construction industry - housing, refurbishment or maintenance experience beneficial.

Solid understanding of CDM Regulations, H&S legislation and site-based controls.

Experience completing COSHH assessments, risk assessments and producing RAMS.

Strong communication skills with the confidence to influence site teams and management.
