Job description

Health and Safety Mobilisation Executive - 12 Month Fixed Term Contract (FTC) London | Major Multi-Use Development Salary: £65,000-£70,000 (DOE)

Are you looking for a role where you can shape, build, and implement safety systems from the ground up? Do you enjoy working in fast-paced environments where construction, operations, and mobilisation all overlap?

A major London development is entering a critical phase, transitioning from a live construction site into a fully operational destination. With tenants preparing to move in over the coming months and the site expected to be largely live by spring, the organisation is looking to appoint a Health and Safety Mobilisation Executive to support the next stage of delivery.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who thrives in complex environments, enjoys building structure and governance, and can work closely with contractors, operational teams, and future occupiers.

Responsibilities

• Writing, developing, and implementing core health and safety policies and procedures
• Setting up and managing the internal H&S documentation library and associated systems
• Supporting and coordinating permit-to-work processes and approvals
• Tracking compliance actions and maintaining governance across the estate
• Providing hands‑on mobilisation support across a mixed‑use environment, including construction interfaces, operational handovers, and early‑stage tenant activity

Qualifications

• Strong experience in construction, development, large estates, or complex operational environment
• A background in mobilisation, start‑up projects, or building H&S frameworks from scratch
• The ability to work reactively and autonomously in a busy, evolving setting
  Practical, hands‑on experience supported by solid knowledge of compliance and governance
• Excellent communication skills, comfortable working with contractors, direct employees, and incoming tenants

Environment

• Part live building site transitioning into full operations
• Approximately 50 direct employees and around 200 contractor partners
• High degree of interaction with tenants, project teams, and operational stakeholders
