This is an ideal role for someone with 1-3 years of H&S experience looking to take ownership, grow professionally, and make a genuine impact on how safety is embedded across sites.

  • Strong communication skills and the confidence to engage with site teams

  • A proactive and approachable mindset - you're someone who can grow with the role

  • UK driving licence (travel to regional sites required)



Why Apply?

  • Join a growing, stable contractor with a strong reputation and pipeline of work

  • Be part of a business where Health & Safety is taken seriously and you'll be listened to

  • Get hands-on support and development to take your career to the next level

  • Work in a regional patch - no nationwide travel or being away from home long-term
