Construction Health Safety Wellbeing and Environment Advisor

About You

Do you want to make a real difference, not just tick compliance boxes? This isn’t a desk‑based HSW role. You’ll be out on site, working with project teams, influencing decisions and helping create safer, healthier environments across complex construction projects.

You enjoy:

• working with people and building relationships
• challenging where needed—but doing it constructively
• being part of a team that genuinely cares about safety and wellbeing

We’re not looking for perfection but you’ll need a strong grounding in construction HSW and the confidence to apply it in real‑world settings.

• Experience of health, safety, wellbeing and environmental management in construction
• Working knowledge of CDM Regulations (including notifiable projects)
• NEBOSH Certificate (or equivalent)
• Confidence to influence and challenge contractors and project teams
• Awareness of the growing focus on wellbeing in the construction industry, not just compliance

You’ll need to be comfortable with travel. Our advisors tend to complete around four site visits a month, guided by project requirements.

We work in an open, collaborative way so you’ll need to be comfortable building relationships across teams and disciplines.

This is a chance to use your expertise to make a tangible impact. You’ll help address the legacy of historic mining works, ensuring projects are delivered safely, responsibly and with wellbeing in mind. You’ll work closely with engineers, project managers and contractors to embed good practice from design through to delivery.

You’ll be involved throughout the project lifecycle, including:

• Supporting the Authority and its clients to meet legal duties under CDM 2015 (including the Principal Designer role)
• Providing practical advice at design reviews, pre‑start and progress meetings
• Carrying out site visits, inspections and audits to monitor compliance and standards
• Challenging where standards fall short and working with teams to put things right
• Supporting incident investigations and, where required, completing RIDDOR reports
• Contributing to the development and continuous improvement of HSW policies and procedures

This isn’t just about compliance. It’s about:

• influencing behaviour on real projects
• embedding wellbeing alongside safety
• working with people to get the right outcomes, not just enforcing rules
