• Contractor Management: Review and assist with Risk Assessments and Method Statements (RAMS) for incoming contractor work.
• Auditing: Conduct regular onsite safety audits, rigorously tracking all corrective actions through to completion.

Essential Requirements:

• Qualifications: Minimum of a NEBOSH General Certificate (or equivalent H&S qualification).
• Technical Skills: High level of IT literacy; the site operates on a sophisticated digital management system.
• Logistics: Valid UK driving licence, personal vehicle, and mobile phone.

Desirable Experience:

• Prior experience working on a COMAH site (highly preferred).
• A background in Process Health & Safety or Engineering.
• Experience within the construction or infrastructure sectors.
• A naturally compliance-focused mindset paired with practical engineering awareness.
