We're looking for an experienced Health & Safety Advisor to join our team supporting our Scottish Water contract. This is an excellent opportunity to use your expertise in a hands‑on role, partnering with operational teams to promote safe working practices, support colleague wellbeing and drive continuous improvement across a key water sector contract.

• Providing professional Health, Safety and Wellbeing advice and support to colleagues at all levels across the business.

• Supporting accident and incident investigations, identifying root causes and recommending improvements.
• Contributing Health & Safety input into tenders, bids and operational planning.
• Identifying opportunities to improve Health, Safety and Wellbeing systems, processes and performance.
• Promoting proactive hazard reporting and positive safety behaviours across operational teams.
• Supporting compliance with Health, Safety and Environmental legislation and company procedures.

You have significant experience in a Health & Safety advisory role and enjoy working closely with operational teams to provide practical, solutions-focused support.

You’ll be confident influencing and supporting colleagues at all levels, promoting best practice and helping teams meet their legal Health, Safety and Wellbeing responsibilities.

A NEBOSH General or Construction Certificate (or equivalent) is essential, along with Tech IOSH membership (or working towards Graduate IOSH). A full UK driving licence is required, and you’ll be flexible to travel across Scotland, with occasional UK travel and flexibility in working hours to support operational requirements.
