Principal People are delighted to be partnering with a leading Principal Contractor in the construction industry, known for delivering high-quality, complex redevelopment and new-build projects valued up to £400 million.

As part of their growth, our client is looking for a Health & Safety Advisor to join their well-established and close-knit HSEQ team. This is a flexible opportunity open to both entry-level and experienced professionals.

You’ll cover exciting projects across London and the Home Counties, with travel fully expensed, flexible start and finish times, and a supportive team environment that prioritises development, work-life balance, and well-being.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Championing a proactive health, safety, and well-being culture on site

• Engaging with site teams, subcontractors, and project stakeholders
• Supporting compliance with CDM Regulations and the Building Safety Act

• Some experience in a construction environment – large or small
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills
• Ability to travel to sites across London and the South East (mileage, Oyster or rail fares all covered)

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Flagship Projects – Have exposure to a variety of Construction works as a PC
• Supportive culture – mentorship, team collaboration, and a no-blame environment
• Travel costs fully paid – no out-of-pocket expenses for getting to site
• Flexible working hours – start and finish times to suit your lifestyle
• Career development – clear progression opportunities, structured support and tailored learning
• Excellent benefits – 15% pension, private healthcare and more

Whether you're just starting out or looking for your next big challenge, this role offers the chance to grow your career within a people-focused business that invests in its team.
