Job description

THE COMPANY

Our client is a family owned specialist in crane hire, rigging and heavy haulage, working across rail, wind, data centres, road infrastructure and bridges for major contractors. They hold ISO certification for quality, environment and safety, and use a live HSEQ reporting system to give the business visibility of safety performance.

THE ROLE

HSEQ Advisor, reporting to the HSEQ Executive. You will be the trusted voice for crane and rigging crews, the workshop, lift engineers and project teams, working out what matters, bringing people with you and seeing the fix through. That could be at an early pre start, in a depot after an incident or at your desk working through an investigation. It suits someone who earns respect by turning up, asking good questions and giving practical advice, and who is just as comfortable challenging a decision as building trust with a crew.
