Operating primarily across the North East, with occasional travel into Yorkshire and Scotland, the business has built a reputation for providing practical, commercially focused advice that helps clients improve standards whilst supporting operational success.

With a close-knit team of experienced professionals, the culture is collaborative, supportive and family-oriented, offering an excellent work-life balance rarely found within the sector.

What you need:

• Hold a NEBOSH General Certificate (essential)

• Have construction or civil engineering experience

• Can work independently and manage their own workload
• Have experience conducting inspections and investigations
• Are confident delivering training and presentations
• Possess a practical, solutions-focused approach
• Are personable, honest and team-oriented

What's on Offer?

• Company car (electric or hybrid options available)
• Employer pension contribution matched up to 7%
• 23 days annual leave plus bank holidays
• Additional birthday leave
• Annual Christmas bonus (£500 - £1,000)
• Ongoing professional development and funded training
• Support towards NEBOSH Diploma, PTTLS and environmental qualifications
• Family-friendly culture with excellent work-life balance

Key responsibilities will include:

• Conducting site inspections and audits
• Producing reports and recommendations
• Supporting accident and incident investigations
• Delivering toolbox talks and training sessions
• Advising clients on legislative compliance and best practice
• Building strong relationships with stakeholders at all levels
• Supporting environmental and sustainability initiatives where required

This role is predominantly site-based, allowing you to work autonomously whilst being fully supported by an experienced team.

Travel is predominantly across the North East, with occasional visits to Yorkshire and Scotland, typically involving no more than one overnight stay every two weeks.

If you're looking for a role where your expertise is valued, your development is supported and you can genuinely enjoy coming to work, we'd love to hear from you.
