We Care!

That’s why we need people like you who care about your colleagues and customers as well as our business and the environment. People who appreciate their role in helping others to be successful.

As our team grows, this is the perfect role for an experienced health and safety professional to take care of our Head Office, Plant Business and new contract with Affinity Water.

The Role

We’ll support and encourage your naturally inquisitive nature as you seek to understand the operational challenges your colleagues face on site.

We’ll be looking for practical H&S solutions and helpful advice, delivered in a style that motivates your audience and we’ll encourage you to create communication strategies, that resonate and inspire from in-person conversation to videos and podcasts.

Here are just some of the activities you’ll be getting involved with...

• Managing and executing site inspections
• Advising on and setting operational team safety objectives
• Supporting and undertaking investigations into accidents and incidents
• Mentoring junior health and safety professionals
• Contributing to new tenders and bids
