Health & Safety Advisor – Desalination Project

We’re looking for a passionate and hands‑on Health & Safety Advisor to join a leading civil engineering team on an exciting desalination project in Leiston, Suffolk. If you believe safety is more than a checklist — it’s a culture — this is your chance to make a real impact on a landmark infrastructure project that’s shaping the future of sustainable water supply.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Be the on‑site go‑to for all health, safety, and environment matters.
• Carry out inspections, audits, and safety tours to keep everyone safe and compliant.
• Support site teams with RAMS, Construction Phase Plans, and other key documentation.
• Ensure everything on site aligns with CDM Regulations 2015, company procedures, and industry best practice.
• Lead investigations when incidents or near misses occur – find the root cause and help the team learn.
• Run engaging inductions, toolbox talks, and safety briefings that people actually listen to.
• Build strong relationships with client HSEQ teams, local regulators, and your site crew.
• Champion wellbeing, sustainability, and continuous improvement – because good safety is good business.

What We’re Looking For

• Previous experience as a Health & Safety Advisor on civil engineering, infrastructure, or utilities projects.
• Ideally some exposure to water or desalination works – a solid civil background is also valuable.
• A working knowledge of UK safety legislation, CDM Regulations, and practical site‑based risk management.
• An approachable, confident, and influential team player from the ground up.

Your Qualifications

• NEBOSH Construction or General Certificate (essential).
• Tech IOSH or working towards membership (desirable).
• CSCS (Managers/Professionals) card.
• First Aid, Fire Marshal, or Environmental qualifications are a bonus.
• Full UK driving licence with flexibility to work across the Leiston area.

What’s In It For You

• Be part of a flagship desalination project that supports sustainable water infrastructure in East Anglia.
• Work with a high‑performing team that values innovation, collaboration, and real results.
• Competitive pay, great benefits, and opportunities for ongoing professional growth and IOSH/NEBOSH development.
