The Role:

• Lead Health & Safety across a major new build project
• Work closely with the client, contractor and wider delivery teams
• Support the project from pre-construction through to handover
• Carry out audits, inspections and investigations
• Ensure compliance with UK legislation and best practice
• Influence planning, logistics and site standards from day one
• Drive a positive, high performance safety culture on site

What We're Looking For:

• Proven construction Health & Safety experience
• Background on large, complex or technically challenging projects
• Experience working with a main contractor or consultancy environment
• Strong understanding of the full construction lifecycle
• NEBOSH qualification essential
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
• Someone credible, organised and confident challenging where required

Why This Opportunity?

• Landmark Bristol based project
• Strong team and collaborative environment
• Long term project pipeline and stability
• Genuine opportunity to influence delivery and standards
• Excellent salary, package and career progression

If you're frustrated in a role where you're simply ticking boxes and want to be part of a genuinely exciting major project with real responsibility and long term opportunity, we'd love to speak confidentially.
