Job description

The only thing we want more of on site than PPE is you

Health & Safety Manager – City of London

Circa 90,000

Start: November / December 2025

Permanent – Full Time

Imagine a 120m main contractor.

Now imagine they're on their way to 150m.

Now imagine you're the one making sure no one ends up in A&E on the way there.

This isn't clipboard choreography or another Safety Week' with cupcakes. They've got policies – now they need someone who can make them live and breathe on site. Someone who knows the difference between a tick–box culture and a real safety culture (and ideally, has seen both first–hand).

They're halfway through a proper revamp of their Health & Safety set–up – new systems, new attitude, and genuine backing from the top. You'll have the autonomy, the authority, and the support to make things happen – without ten people checking your method statement for commas.

Projects range from 2m refurbs to 70m headline jobs – commercial, residential, the lot. A good mix of the that'll look great on the CV and the how are we even going to build that? variety.

You'll be the sort of person who:

• Has spent solid years with a proper main contractor – not a highlights reel of three–month stints.
• Knows how to walk onto site and get buy‑in from the ground up (without needing to wave a NEBOSH certificate like a sheriff's badge).
• Can lead multiple sites, manage a small team, and still have time to grab a coffee before the next near‑miss meeting.
• Knows the regs, but more importantly, knows people.
• Can spot nonsense from 100 yards – and call it out tactfully.

The company?

A respected, grown‑up main contractor with a solid reputation for delivering complex jobs and actually caring about how they're done. 120m turnover and climbing. Not chasing shiny gimmicks – just steady, smart growth and the right people steering it.

This role's for someone who's built their career properly – who's ready to take ownership, shape a department, and make H&S part of the DNA (not a laminated poster in the site office).

If that sounds like you – and you fancy being part of a business on the up – give me a shout. Discreet chat, no hard sell.
