Health and Safety Advisor

Are you looking for an autonomous, relationship-led Health & Safety Advisor position offering a diverse range of projects and genuine opportunities for long-term career development?

Principal People are recruiting for a highly regarded Construction and Infrastructure Group operating across the North West, offering an excellent opportunity to join a business that invests in and develops its people.

With a portfolio spanning commercial construction, civil engineering, infrastructure and residential development, you'll gain exposure to everything from major building developments and high-rise construction through to highways, bridges and complex civil engineering schemes, with project values reaching £50m.

The business has an excellent record of retaining and developing employees, with many having built careers spanning decades. There is a strong emphasis on professional development, internal progression and giving individuals the freedom to take ownership of their work.

The Role

Working within an established Health & Safety team, you'll have the autonomy to manage your own diary and support a varied portfolio of projects, taking a practical and collaborative approach to Health & Safety.

Key responsibilities include:

• Undertaking site inspections and audits across construction and civil engineering projects.
• Providing practical Health & Safety advice and guidance to operational teams.
• Working closely with Site Managers, Project Managers and contractors to promote safe working practices.
• Supporting improvements through coaching, engagement and identifying opportunities for improvement.
• Covering projects predominantly across the North West, with occasional travel into Yorkshire.

What We're Looking For

We're interested in speaking with Health & Safety professionals with experience working within construction or civil engineering environments.

You'll ideally hold a NEBOSH General or Construction Certificate, with a sound understanding of CDM Regulations and relevant construction risks.

Just as importantly, we're looking for someone who is proactive, approachable and confident working independently, with the ability to build strong relationships and take a practical, solutions-focused approach to Health & Safety.

What's on Offer?

• £57,000 basic salary plus a company car or £6,000 car allowance.
• 26 days annual leave plus bank holidays, increasing with service.
• 6% matched pension scheme and medical benefits.
• Flexible working arrangements, with autonomy to manage your own diary and workload.
• Exposure to a diverse range of construction and infrastructure projects.
• Investment in professional development, including support towards the NEBOSH Diploma
• Long-term career development and internal progression opportunities within an established business.
