  • Drive performance against H&S KPIs, ensuring clear reporting, accountability, and continuous improvement
  • Lead and manage external audits and regulatory inspections, ensuring successful outcomes
  • Identify, monitor, and mitigate organisational health and safety risks
  • Build and embed a safety-first culture across all levels of the business
  • Provide strategic advice and insight to C-suite and board stakeholders
  • Ensure full compliance with UK H&S legislation and industry standards
  • Develop leadership capability across the organisation through coaching, mentoring, and engagement
  • Drive innovation in H&S systems, tools, and ways of working

Essential Skills & Experience

  • Proven experience in a senior H&S leadership role within a regulated, operational environment
  • Track record of engaging and influencing executive and board-level stakeholders
  • Strong experience managing health and safety within field-based or infrastructure-led operations
  • Ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced, highly regulated environment
  • Experience leading teams while also remaining hands-on where required
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
  • Strong organisational and planning skills - highly structured approach to delivery
  • Ability to influence behavioural change and drive compliance across the business
  • Relevant Health & Safety qualification (eg IOSH minimum; NEBOSH Diploma or equivalent desirable)
