Search² is delighted to be representing an established construction contractor looking to appoint a Health & Safety Manager to support a portfolio of building projects across the region.

• Undertaking regular site inspections, audits and compliance reviews.
• Working closely with Site Managers, Project Managers and subcontractors to promote safe working practices.
• Supporting the development, implementation and review of risk assessments, method statements and other safety documentation.
• Assisting with incident investigations, identifying root causes and implementing corrective actions.
• Supporting project teams during pre-construction planning and throughout the delivery of projects.
• Delivering toolbox talks, safety briefings and practical guidance to site teams.
• Supporting the ongoing improvement of Health & Safety management systems, procedures and standards.

What you will need

• Previous Health & Safety experience within the construction industry, ideally within a building-focused main contractor environment.
• Experience working across multiple construction projects, with an understanding of the risks associated with different trades and construction activities.
• A NEBOSH qualification or relevant NVQ in Occupational Health & Safety.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to engage effectively with site teams, subcontractors and management.
• A proactive, practical approach to Health & Safety.
• A full UK driving licence and willingness to travel across the region.

What''s in it for you

• Salary of £50,000 to £62,500 depending on experience, with flexibility for an exceptional candidate.

• Comprehensive benefits package.
• Predominantly home-based working, with flexibility to manage your own diary.
• A varied portfolio of construction projects.
• Funded training and professional development.
