Head of Health, Safety & Wellbeing

Are you looking to join an organisation where positive health, safety & wellbeing culture underpins everything they do? Does your organisation care more about following rules than innovation?

​

This business, one of the world's largest construction groups, knows that people and behaviours are the keys to delivering a safe and sustainable future for its employees and supply chain.

​

The leadership team is looking for someone like you to be the face of Health, Safety & Environment for the organisation, helping to create and embed strategy, as well as coaching, developing and upskilling a large team of HS&E specialists. Whilst reporting to the Operations Director day-to-day, you will also have an indirect line to the Group HS&E Director, who will support you with strategy development and your own personal progression.

​

You'll be:

• A confident and experienced leader - you'll be responsible for developing and then driving a people-focused health, safety & wellbeing strategy across the organisation, which will enable a long-term positive culture across all projects and developments.

• Passionate about people - you'll be responsible for leading, motivating and developing the health, safety & wellbeing team, ensuring high performance and achieving ambitious goals.

• Organised and able to prioritise - your skills and experience will be in high demand, so it's imperative that you are able to work with both autonomy and efficiency, choosing carefully which projects to prioritise at a given time.
  

In terms of experience:

• It's important that you have previous health & safety leadership experience within either the construction, infrastructure, utilities or power generation sectors.

• It's vital that you have led and coached a team in a prior role.

• If you can demonstrate that you can build meaningful relationships from site level to board room, that will go a long way

​

You can be based anywhere from the south coast to the midlands, as long as you're willing to travel across the UK to both sites and regional offices. This is a hybrid role, meaning 2-3 days per week working from home. In return for your skills and expertise, you will be met with a competitive salary of up to £85,000, a car allowance and a discretionary bonus.
