Greys Specialist Recruitment is supporting an established multidisciplinary construction consultancy in appointing a Construction Health & Safety Advisor. The consultancy provides construction H&S, CDM, Principal Designer, surveying, quality-control and technical advisory services. This client-facing role combines construction H&S advice, site inspections and CDM support. You will manage client appointments and advise clients, designers, Principal Designers and Principal Contractors. The vacancy has a stronger CDM focus than a general site-safety role. Applied knowledge of CDM 2015 is essential. CDM Advisor or Principal Designer support experience is particularly valuable, although construction H&S professionals who regularly advise project teams under CDM may also be considered. Key responsibilities Act as a principal H&S/CDM contact, coordinating appointments within agreed programmes, scopes and budgets.

Review project arrangements, construction information and dutyholder compliance, coordinating H&S information between clients, designers, project managers and contractors. Review Construction Phase Plans, RAMS and contractor documentation, ensuring they address actual project risks, methods and site arrangements rather than merely providing paperwork. Conduct inspections, identify unsafe conditions or arrangements and recommend proportionate action. Escalate high-risk matters before leaving site and issue reports within 24 hours.
