• Drive COMAH compliance through effective risk management and ALARP principles.
• Conduct audits, investigations and contractor assurance activities.

• Experience in occupational health & safety, environmental management and process safety.
• Knowledge of CDM, COMAH regulations and major accident hazard legislation.
• Experience with risk assessments, audits and HSE management systems.
• Strong report writing and Microsoft Office skills (particularly Excel).
• The confidence to work independently while building effective relationships across all levels of the organisation.
