This role would suit a Health and Safety Advisor from water, rail, construction or Tier 1 infrastructure backgrounds – especially those who enjoy being on–site, engaging with teams, and driving standards from the ground up.

What you'll be doing:

• Acting as a Health and Safety Advisor across multiple sites within the Peterborough, Lincolnshire area
• Supporting project teams through regular site visits, inspections, and proactive SHEQ advice
• Organising and delivering SHEQ assurance audits and supporting the close–out of actions
• Leading or assisting with accident and incident investigations, reporting findings clearly
• Analysing SHEQ performance data to identify trends, risks and opportunities for improvement
• Engaging with clients, subcontractors and internal stakeholders to drive collaborative SHEQ standards
• Contributing to the ongoing development and maintenance of externally certified SHEQ management systems
• Promoting behavioural safety and a positive culture throughout all project phases
• Highlighting opportunities for sustainable practices and improved environmental outcomes

What makes this Health and Safety Advisor role stand out:

• Be a visible and influential Health and Safety Advisor – not stuck behind a desk
• Work on meaningful water infrastructure projects that affect millions of people daily
• Join a business that understands the value of proactive safety leadership and collaboration
• Gain exposure to complex, multi–stakeholder environments and externally certified SHEQ systems
• Career development opportunities within a people–first organisation

What's in it for you as the Health and Safety Advisor

• GBP55,000 salary + GBP4,800 car allowance
• Permanent, full–time role (Monday–Friday, 45 hours per week)
• Projects across East and South East London, with flexible travel across other London–based sites
• Supportive SHEQ leadership team and strong organisational backing
• Long–term opportunity within a thriving and secure industry
• Ideal for those from water, construction, rail or Tier 1 infrastructure sectors looking for progression

This is the perfect next step for a motivated and adaptable Health and Safety Advisor who wants more than box–ticking – someone who wants to build relationships, solve real problems and shape best practice across critical UK infrastructure.
