About the role

We are looking to expand our team with skilled and enthusiastic individuals to deliver a tunnelling project in the beautiful region of Snowdonia, North Wales. Our work will significantly enhance the visual impact of the area, burying a network of overhead cables and removing a number of pylons to restore and protect the natural beauty, wildlife and environmental heritage of this precious landscape.

The project requires a Health, Safety and Wellbeing Manager to lead and be accountable for the health and safety on the project, ensuring all individuals are provided with appropriate leadership and support.

You will establish and provide leadership in best practice in safety, health and sustainability matters on the project and advise and support Directors, Managers and Supervisors to discharge their health and safety responsibilities regarding their employees and others to whom they have a duty as defined by legislation and HOCHTIEF (UK) procedures.
