Health & Safety Advisor

A leading specialist in Construction is currently seeking a proactive Health & Safety Advisor to join an expanding team in the North of England. This is a pivotal role for a professional who thrives on variety, balancing a strategic presence at the Leeds head office with high-impact, "boots on the ground" support across a diverse range of project sites.

The successful candidate will join a collaborative environment where safety is viewed as a cornerstone of operational excellence. This role is ideal for an individual who prefers a pragmatic, solutions-focused approach to safety over a purely administrative one.

• Driving Culture: Promoting a positive, "safety-first" mindset across M&E projects, maintenance, and facilities management operations.

• Technical Review: Evaluating health and safety documentation, including Risk Assessments and Method Statements (RAMS), to ensure compliance and practical application.

• Engagement: Delivering engaging safety briefings and toolbox talks to a varied workforce.

• Incident Management: Supporting incident investigations and maintaining professional liaison with clients and principal contractors.

• Qualifications: A NEBOSH General or Construction Certificate is essential.

• Experience: Previous experience within the construction industry is required, with a preference for those with an M&E background.

• Mindset: A supportive, "solutions-focused" attitude. The Advisor should be able to provide practical assistance to real-life site challenges.
