• Embed H&S by design, identifying and eliminating risks early in planning and design.
• Support safe delivery during construction and embed occupational health strategies for long-term operation.
• Champion HS2’s “Safe at Heart” culture across contractors, JV partners (Mace & Dragados), and stakeholders.
• Lead investigations, provide oversight, and ensure compliance with assurance processes.

About You

• NEBOSH Diploma (or equivalent qualification).
• Experience on major, complex infrastructure projects – rail, airports, nuclear, utilities, or large civils.
• Strong expertise in H&S by design and early-stage risk mitigation.
• Proven ability to influence, engage, and lead across multi-stakeholder environments.
• Analytical, problem-solving mindset with a track record of driving best practice.
