Job Description

The only thing we want more of on site than PPE is you

Health & Safety Manager - City of London
Circa 90,000
Start: November / December 2025
Permanent - Full Time

Imagine a 120m main contractor.
Now imagine they're on their way to 150m.
Now imagine you're the one making sure no one ends up in A&E on the way there.

This isn't clipboard choreography or another Safety Week' with cupcakes. They've got policies - now they need someone who can make them live and breathe on site. Someone who knows the difference between a tick-box culture and a real safety culture (and ideally, has seen both first-hand).

They're halfway through a proper revamp of their Health & Safety set-up - new systems, new attitude, and genuine backing from the top. You'll have the autonomy, the authority, and the support to make things happen - without ten people checking your method statement for commas.
Projects range from 2m refurbs to 70m headline jobs - commercial, residential, the lot. A good mix of the that'll look great on the CV and the how are we even going to build that? variety.

You'll be the sort of person who:
Has spent solid years with a proper main contractor - not a highlights reel of three-month stints.
Knows how to walk onto site and get buy-in from the ground up (without needing to wave a NEBOSH certificate like a sheriff's badge).
Can lead multiple sites, manage a small team, and still have time to grab a coffee before the next near-miss meeting.
Knows the regs, but more importantly, knows people.
Can spot nonsense from 100 yards - and call it out tactfully.

The company?
A respected, grown-up main contractor with a solid reputation for delivering complex jobs and actually caring about how they're done. 120m turnover and climbing. Not chasing shiny gimmicks - just steady, smart growth and the right people steering it.

This role's for someone who's built their career properly - who's ready to take ownership, shape a department, and make H&S part of the DNA (not a laminated poster in the site office).
If that sounds like you - and you fancy being part of a business on the up - give me a shout. Discreet chat, no hard sell.
