I’m currently recruiting for an established business looking to appoint a Health & Safety Lead to provide strategic guidance and leadership across the organisation.

The ideal candidate will come from a rail, infrastructure, construction or similarly high-risk environment and will have the experience and confidence to operate at a senior level, working closely with operational teams, project leaders and senior management.

This is a varied role that offers the opportunity to move beyond a purely site-based position and have a wider impact on how Health & Safety is managed across the business.

What’s on offer?

• £65,000–£75,000 basic salary
• £6,500 car allowance
• Opportunity to work closely with senior leadership
• Responsibility for driving improvements across Health & Safety
• Opportunity to lead, support and develop members of the wider H&S team
• Varied role with a mixture of strategic and operational responsibilities
• Genuine opportunity to make your mark within an established business

The role:

• Provide professional H&S advice, support and guidance to operational and project teams
• Provide strategic H&S advice to senior leaders
• Help develop and deliver the Health, Safety and Wellbeing strategy
• Drive improvements in safety culture and standards across the business
• Lead and support the wider H&S team
• Monitor performance, trends and emerging risks
• Lead risk-based assurance programmes, audits and inspections
• Support internal, client and regulatory audits
• Ensure compliance with relevant legislation, standards and procedures
• Lead investigations into significant incidents and high-potential events

What are they looking for?

• NEBOSH Diploma or equivalent
• Strong Health & Safety experience within rail, infrastructure, construction or another comparable high-risk environment
• Previous experience working at a senior H&S level
• Strong understanding of H&S legislation, management systems and industry standards
• Experience leading investigations, audits, inspections and assurance activities
• Experience mentoring, managing or developing other H&S professionals would be advantageous

This is a great opportunity for an experienced Health & Safety professional who is ready to take on more responsibility and have a genuine influence on Health & Safety strategy, culture and performance.
