• Act as a key H&S representative across Fastned's UK construction, operations, and asset management activities.

• Conduct site inspections and support design reviews, pre-construction processes, and CDM compliance.
• Contribute to the design and implementation of a practical, scalable Health and Safety Management System for the UK business.
• Monitor H&S performance, share insights, lead toolbox talks, and contribute to training and awareness.
• Play a hands-on role in incident management, root cause analysis, and continuous improvement.
• Provide clear and confident advice in a fast-paced, scaling environment.
• Keep up to date with UK H&S legislation and ensure ongoing legal compliance across all construction and operational activities.

Who we are looking for?

• 5+ years of hands-on experience in health and safety, with exposure to both construction and operational environments.
• Confident self-starter who thrives in fast-moving, autonomous roles and can deliver from day one.
• Deep understanding of health and safety within construction, asset management, and utilities, with strong expertise in UK legislation, including CDM 2015, and a practical, solutions-oriented approach.
• Proven track record in developing and implementing H&S management systems (ISO 45001), building data-driven dashboards (Power BI), and using analytics to monitor performance and inform decisions.
• Comfortable performing under pressure and maintaining high standards in fast-paced, evolving environments.
• Pragmatic, solution-oriented mindset with a passion for challenging the status quo and driving continuous improvement.
• Excellent English communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to engage effectively at all levels of the organization.
