We have an exciting opportunity for a Health & Safety professional to join our experienced team at the Port of Tilbury as a SHEQ Advisor (Safety, Health, Environment & Quality). This is a crucial role within our business, that supports the HSEEM in protecting the health & safety of our workforce and the environment that we operate in. We stand by the principal that every one of our employees deserves to go home at the end of each day, and so we are looking for someone who is as passionate as we are about enabling a safe workplace.

This role is responsible for providing professional safety, health and environmental advice and support across all assets in the Port of Tilbury, and will work specifically on one of our large assets in the Port. It will involve building strong relationships with multiple stakeholders across the business, and supporting teams to foster a positive and safe working environment.

Analyse incident investigation, reactive and proactive data and communicate findings as appropriate.

You will also be tasked with ad-hoc duties including reporting, H&S projects and supporting Management.

What are we looking for?

We are keen to hear from individuals with current or recent experience within a similar SHE role and who is passionate about fostering a strong H&S culture within the workplace. We are looking for someone with the expertise to support the teams in the practical day to day working environment, but also on an equally important legislative basis.

Skills and Qualifications:
