Are you a passionate and experienced Health & Safety professional? Are you looking for a fulfilling role that allows you to make a real impact on the wellbeing of others? If so, our client is seeking an enthusiastic H&S Officer to join their team and ensure compliance with UK Health & Safety legislation.

As the H&S Officer, you will play a crucial role in protecting the health and safety of contractors, associates, and staff. You will have the opportunity to guide and direct the organisation in adhering to H&S regulations, as well as designing and implementing safety programmes tailored to their specific needs. Your expertise will be utilised to develop training systems for associates and staff, ensuring that they have the necessary knowledge to maintain a safe working environment.

Your responsibilities will include conducting on-site audits to verify adherence to work-specific RAMS (Risk Assessments and Method Statements), collaborating with the Office Manager to meet H&S requirements for office-based staff, and reviewing RAMS for customer jobs. Additionally, you will attend customer meetings and sites to assess H&S needs, support business growth by providing H&S expertise to Business Development Managers, lead investigations into incidents and accidents, and establish systems to continuously monitor safety performance.

Our client values Dedication, Experience, Accountability, Transparency, Trust, and Passion. As the ideal candidate, you will embrace these core values and demonstrate a self-motivated and resilient approach to your work. Your effective communication skills, attention to detail, and logical problem-solving abilities will be essential in this role. You will have the opportunity to work collaboratively with a strong and supportive team, contributing to a culture of respect and equality.

To be considered for this role, you must have a NEBOSH Diploma in Occupational Health & Safety, along with at least 5 years of relevant experience. A strong knowledge of UK Health & Safety regulations is essential, as is experience in managing contractors from an EHS standpoint and conducting incident investigations. Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and Word is required, and any additional training provided will further enhance your skills and career progression.

You will also receive 25 days of annual leave (increasing to 30 with length of service), a company vehicle, discretionary annual bonus scheme, company pension scheme, and free onsite parking.

If you are ready to take on a rewarding role where you can make a difference, apply now to join our client as their H&S Officer. Take the next step in your career and embark on a journey of growth and responsibility.
