You will advise project leadership on risk, lead incident investigations, manage contractor EHS performance, and ensure statutory and client requirements are met across construction, commissioning and maintenance activities.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop, maintain and improve project EHS plans, procedures, RAMS and PSCS documentation to meet legislative, client and Sensori standards.

• IncLead root‑cause investigations for accidents and near misses; produce clear reports and implement realistic corrective actions.
• Review and approve subcontractor RAMS, monitor specialist contractor compliance, and enforce Sensori EHS expectations on site.
• Coordinate EHS training records with the Training Department; deliver toolbox talks, inductions and targeted coaching to raise capability.

• Prepare monthly EHS reports and project KPIs for SMT; present trends, risks and improvement plans.
• Act as on‑site EHS point of contact for clients, certifying bodies and internal stakeholders; represent Sensori at site EHS forums.
• Capture lessons learned, update procedures and lead initiatives that reduce incidents, rework and regulatory exposure.
• Travel to project sites as required to perform audits, lead investigations and support delivery.
• Third‑level qualification in Environmental, Health & Safety, Occupational Safety, or equivalent.
• Minimum 5 years site‑based EHS experience on construction, MEP, electrical or industrial projects; experience in data centre, pharmaceutical or power sectors is advantageous.
• Thorough understanding of current EHS legislation, COSHH, permit to work systems, and safe switching practices for LV/MV/HV environments.
• NEBOSH General Certificate or equivalent; ISO45001/ISO14001 lead auditor or practitioner qualifications are desirable.
• Proven experience leading root‑cause investigations and implementing corrective/preventive actions.
• Strong written and verbal skills; ability to present to senior management and influence contractors and project teams.
• Competent with MS Office and EHS reporting systems; able to maintain accurate audit and training records.
• Proactive, decisive, resilient and methodical with strong attention to detail and a collaborative mindset.

Deliverables and success measures

• Deliverables — Project EHS plans, approved RAMS/PSCS, completed audit reports, incident investigation reports, training records, monthly KPI pack, and updated Safety File documentation.
• KPIs — Reduction in LTIs and RIDDOR‑reportable incidents; audit closure time; percentage of corrective actions closed on time; compliance rate for statutory inspections and contractor RAMS.
• Impact — Safer sites with fewer repeat incidents, auditable compliance at handover, and demonstrable environmental improvements (waste reduction, recycling rates).
• Reports to the Head of EHS and works closely with Project Managers, Site Supervisors, QA/QC, Commissioning teams and subcontractors.
• Role requires regular site travel and occasional extended site presence during critical phases (switching, energisation, commissioning).
• Acts as Sensori’s visible EHS ambassador on projects, balancing enforcement with coaching to embed a "Right First Time" culture.
