Job description

Ready to take your career in construction health and safety to the next level, with a consultancy that genuinely values expertise and supports your growth? My client is seeking a Construction Health & Safety Consultant (CDM Focus) to join a collaborative and expanding team, where your skills will contribute to shaping a safer, more sustainable built environment. With standout benefits, flexible working, and a culture built on trust and support, this is more than a job — it’s a long-term career move.

As a Construction Health & Safety Consultant (CDM Focus), you’ll play a vital role in guiding clients and project teams across a variety of sectors, including commercial, education, healthcare, residential, and defence. This is an opportunity to get involved at every stage of the project lifecycle — from early design reviews to on-site coordination — providing CDM guidance, design risk management, and compliance strategies. You'll be the trusted advisor liaising between stakeholders, ensuring projects are not only compliant but practical and safe by design. This role will suit someone who enjoys the challenge of variety, who thrives when trusted with autonomy, and who is looking to broaden their impact across complex and high-profile projects.

What’s in it for you? A genuinely supportive culture and a benefits package that sets this role apart:

• £45,000–£50,000 salary + regular benchmarking to ensure fairness
• 25 days’ holiday plus bank holidays, festive shutdown & long-service recognition
• Flexible and remote working options, with early finish incentives
• Health cash plan, generous pension, and death in service benefit

My client is a respected and growing multi-disciplinary property and construction consultancy with offices across the UK and more on the horizon. Their people-first approach fosters real collaboration, with regular team-building events, fully expensed socials, and structured coaching and mentoring. It’s a practice where individual strengths are nurtured, ideas are welcomed, and long-term careers are built.
