• Supporting field engineers, depot teams and managers in identifying hazards, assessing risks and implementing practical control measures.
• Driving compliance with UK Health & Safety legislation, company standards and customer requirements.
• Conducting regular site inspections, audits and safety tours, ensuring actions are completed and improvements are embedded.
• Promoting a proactive safety culture by coaching, influencing and engaging employees at all levels.
• Supporting incident investigations, identifying root causes and helping implement effective corrective and preventative actions.
• Assisting with the development and delivery of EHS training, toolbox talks and safety communications.
• Supporting contractor management, including pre-qualification, site monitoring and compliance reviews.
• Reviewing and supporting Risk Assessments and Method Statements (RAMS) for operational activities.
• Maintaining accurate EHS records and supporting reporting through internal systems.
• Supporting internal and external audits, certification activities and continuous improvement initiatives.

What we're looking for

• Previous experience in a hands-on Health & Safety role supporting field operations, working directly with field engineers, depot teams and operational managers across multiple sites within construction, engineering, utilities, plant hire or similar.
• NEBOSH General Certificate (or equivalent).
• Experience working directly with operational teams, engineers and depot-based colleagues in a practical, field-based capacity.
• Strong knowledge of UK Health & Safety legislation and best practice.
• Experience conducting audits, inspections, incident investigations and risk assessments.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills with the confidence to influence people at all levels.
• A proactive, pragmatic approach with the ability to balance compliance with operational realities.
• Comfortable working independently while supporting a geographically dispersed business.
• Willingness to travel regularly across Northern UK.
• Full UK Driving Licence.
