Job description

Are you a Health & Safety professional with a background in construction looking for greater autonomy, flexibility and the opportunity to work across a diverse range of projects throughout East Anglia?

Principal People are recruiting for a Health & Safety Advisor to join a well-established and highly respected construction contractor with an excellent reputation and a strong pipeline of secured work.

With projects spanning the commercial, education, leisure, industrial and defence sectors, this is an opportunity to join a stable and successful business offering genuine variety.

You'll be joining an experienced and supportive Health & Safety team where the emphasis is on building relationships, coaching operational teams and promoting a positive safety culture rather than simply policing compliance.

One of the biggest attractions of this opportunity is the level of trust and flexibility on offer. You'll have the autonomy to manage your own diary, prioritise site visits and work collaboratively with the wider team, within a business that genuinely values work-life balance.

Key Benefits:

• Salary of £45,000-£55,000 depending on experience.
• Company Car or £6.8k Car Allowance + Mileage.
• 25 Days Annual Leave + Bank Holidays.
• Private Medical Insurance, Healthcare Cash Plan and Life Insurance.
• Ongoing training, development and career progression opportunities.

Key Responsibilities:

• Providing practical Health & Safety advice and guidance across a variety of live construction projects.
• Conducting site inspections, audits and safety observations, identifying risks and recommending improvements.
• Reviewing RAMS, safe systems of work and relevant Health & Safety documentation.
• Working closely with Site Managers, Project Managers and subcontractors to maintain safe working practices.
• Supporting incident investigations, identifying root causes and implementing corrective actions.
• Delivering toolbox talks, coaching site teams and promoting a positive Health & Safety culture.

The Successful Candidate:

• NEBOSH qualified
• Experience within the Construction industry
• Previous Health & Safety experience, although those with a site based background looking to transition into a dedicated safety role will also be considered.

This is a predominantly site-based regional role, with most travel typically no further than an hour and a half.

If you're looking to join a stable, forward-thinking construction business that values its people and takes a practical, collaborative approach to Health & Safety, we'd be keen to hear from you.
