Job description

Senior Health & Safety Senior Advisor – Bromsgrove

Looking to spend more time on–site and less time battling traffic between locations? This is the role for you.

A Health & Safety contractor, known for its commitment to safety excellence and quality delivery, is looking to appoint an experienced Health & Safety Senior Advisor or Manager to support projects across the West Midlands region.

This opportunity suits someone who enjoys being embedded in projects, building strong site relationships, and taking real accountability for safety culture and performance.

What will you do?

Auditing & Compliance Assurance

You will manage site audits and inspections, oversee corrective actions, and ensure consistent compliance with UK legislation, client standards and company systems.

Coaching & Influencing

You will coach site managers, supervisors and subcontractors, driving behavioural change and helping develop a strong, proactive safety culture rather than a compliance‑only approach.

Autonomy & Ownership

This is a regional role where you will manage your own workload and site coverage, focusing on visible site presence rather than excessive travel between locations.

What do they expect from you?

Construction H&S Experience

You will have significant experience in a Health & Safety role within construction, ideally operating at Senior Advisor, Manager or Lead Consultant level.

Professional Qualifications

NEBOSH Construction Certificate is essential. Diploma or working towards chartership would be highly advantageous.

Strong On‑Site Presence

You will be confident working directly with operational teams, challenging unsafe behaviours, and influencing senior stakeholders.

Leadership & Decision Making

You will be comfortable taking ownership of safety performance, escalating issues when needed, and driving improvement initiatives.

High Standards & Professionalism

You will demonstrate a genuine commitment to improving health and safety standards and protecting people on site.

What they offer:

Competitive Salary & Benefits

Salary up to 55,000 depending on experience, plus car allowance and benefits package.

Regional, Site‑Focused Role

Less time commuting between distant locations and more time embedded on projects where you can add real value.

Career Progression

Strong development pathways into senior leadership, safety leadership roles, and client‑facing consultancy positions.
