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.

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.

• 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.

The company is looking for a confident, approachable professional who can work independently and build strong working relationships at all levels.

• 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.

• Financial:
  Competitive salary plus a £7,000 car allowance and an enhanced pension scheme.
• Time Off:
  An industry-leading 35 days annual leave (including bank holidays).
• Wellbeing:
  Access to an onsite gym, Cycle to Work scheme, and contractual sick pay.
• Family Support:
