Job description
An opportunity has arisen for an experienced Health & Safety Manager to join a well-established, regulated organisation operating within a safety-critical utilities and infrastructure environment. The role sits within a central Health & Safety Business Support and Improvement function, providing assurance, guidance and practical support across a diverse operational footprint.
Working closely with operational teams and senior stakeholders, you will play a key role in promoting compliance, embedding best practice and supporting a positive safety culture. The position involves developing effective working relationships with internal and external stakeholders, promoting compliance with health, safety and environmental legislation and internal standards, and leading or supporting internal audits, assurance activities, inspections and on-site technical reviews.
You will provide clear, practical feedback to stakeholders and contribute across a broad H&S remit including occupational safety, process safety, environmental safety, wellbeing, and behavioural safety. The role also includes developing and implementing safety bulletins, procedures and incident learning communications, as well as supporting regulatory enquiries and contributing to incident investigations to ensure learning is captured and embedded.
