Bring Safety Culture to Life

You'll have genuine autonomy, empowered to challenge processes, influence culture, and drive measurable improvement.

About You

We'd love to hear from you if you have:

• Proven health and safety leadership experience within Engineering, Rail or Transport
• Confidence to influence and challenge constructively at all levels
• A practical, people‑first approach to safety improvement
• NEBOSH Diploma (Ideally, will consider candidates working towards)
• Strong communication skills and confidence working with operational teams

We welcome applicants of all backgrounds, what matters most is your ability to lead engagement, drive accountability, and bring best practice to life in a complex environment.

What's in it for you

• Free travel benefits for you + discounted tickets for others
• Flexible hours – 38 hours per week, genuine flexibility in how those hours are worked
• Freedom to plan your own schedule around site activity, including starting early, working later in the day, or attending night shifts to engage with teams on different patterns
• Visibility, impact, and the ability to support a positive safety culture across all shifts
• Travel benefits & discounted tickets for family or friends
• Autonomy to shape safety culture and lead meaningful change
• Ongoing professional development
• Join a company that values practical leadership and proactive safety management
