You'll be the go-to expert for all things Environment, Health & Safety-supporting our people, partners, and projects to achieve the highest standards. If you're a proactive, collaborative professional who's ready to make a real impact, we'd love to hear from you.

What You'll Be Doing

• Supporting the local FMRE team to ensure robust risk controls are in place for all activities, including those of our service providers.
• Ensuring compliance with legal requirements for new and existing plant and equipment, including ongoing maintenance.
• Reviewing safety management systems for prospective contractors during the pre-qualification process.
• Conducting EHS inspections and audits, maintaining accurate records, and driving action plans for continuous improvement.
• Providing expert advice on EHS matters for a wide range of strategic projects, including feasibility and design reviews.
• Leading compliance audits and ensuring processes meet all relevant legal standards (including CDM Regulations 2015 and the Building Safety Act).
• Investigating incidents (from near misses to lost time injuries and environmental events), ensuring effective follow-up and learning.
• Promoting EHS topics through training, awareness campaigns, KPI reporting, and induction programmes.

What We're Looking For

• NEBOSH General Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety (or equivalent) - essential.
• Strong experience in Facilities Management, Construction, or Real Estate environments.
• Proven ability to engage and influence stakeholders at all levels, building strong relationships across the business.

• CDM experience is essential.
• A team player who can also work independently, with a positive, solutions-focused attitude.
• Commitment to ongoing professional development (IOSH membership desirable).

Why Join Us?

• Long-term Opportunity: Although this is a contract role, there is a genuine opportunity for extension or permanent employment for the right person.
• Inclusive Culture: Be part of a team that values diversity, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
• Professional Growth: Access to ongoing training, development, and support for your career ambitions.
• Work-Life Balance: Flexible working patterns to suit your lifestyle.
