Hands-On Data Center EHSQ Lead — Safety & Quality Innovator

Jackalope Digital LLC; Greater London; Hybrid; GBP 60,000 - 90,000; Full time

Job summary

Radiant in the UK seeks an on-site EHS/Quality Lead to set safety and quality standards and travel to project sites to apply them directly. This is not policy writing; it’s hands-on problem prevention across complex data-centre builds, with integration into outbound RFPs and contractor responses.

You will craft the standards from scratch, audit performance, and grow the team as the portfolio expands, while staying hands-on at site level.

Qualifications

• Hands-on EHS or quality management experience on construction or industrial sites, ideally data centres or similarly complex builds.
• Comfort travelling to sites regularly and getting into the detail yourself.
• A standard-setter's mindset; you’ll be helping in writing the rulebook, not just enforcing someone else’s.
• We value a safety-first instinct and hands-on attitude over a specific certification.

Responsibilities

• Write Radiant's EHS and quality standards and inspection/ITP methodology from scratch.
• Personally audit sites and contractor safety performance, not just review reports.
• Run incident investigation and lessons-learned directly in the early stages.
• Recruit regional EHS managers as the portfolio grows, while continuing to be hands-on at site level yourself.
• Expect to hire a Document Controller as document volume grows into the thousands — not needed from day one.
