Make safety your legacy. Not just a tick-box.

At Lowery we don’t just “do” health and safety — we live it. As a high-performing, friendly Tier 2 SME working across rail and civils (Network Rail, GE, TfL, Croydon Tramlink, and more), we’re on the lookout for a proactive Health & Safety Advisor who thrives on making a real difference.

Why you’ll love this role:

• Team-first culture – Join an experienced, welcoming HSQE team and operations teams who are passionate about high standards and practical support
• Real impact – Help shape H&S culture, not just paperwork

What you’ll do:

• Be a visible presence – Site inspections and site HSQE support, building trust, engaging with teams, and supporting continuous improvement
• Make safety user-friendly – Help create and improve HSQE documents including RAMS, COSHH assessments and other safety documents in collaboration with site teams
• Drive quality – Ensure compliance with our and clients' HSQE standards through audits, feedback, and actionable insights
• Influence culture – Lead impactful inductions, toolbox talks and training that energise our safety-first mindset
• Own investigations – Support incident reviews with professionalism, helping us learn and evolve
• Be the go-to advisor – Act as a key player in project meetings, offering credible, practical guidance that adds value

What success looks like:

You’ll help support a culture where safety is second nature. Not just about preventing harm, but enabling our people to thrive through smarter, safer ways of working.

What you’ll need:

• 2+ years' experience in H&S in a railway construction environment
• NEBOSH General/Construction or NVQ Level 3 (minimum)
• Internal auditor qualification
• Strong communicator and credible influencer
• Knowledge of rail/LU regulations and working practices
• IT confidence (Microsoft tools, etc.)
• Customer-focused mindset
• PTS? Even better.

If you’ve got the credibility and passion to make workplaces safe, we want to hear from you.
