**Job summary**:
HSE’s Specialist Division comprises Specialist Inspectors and scientists who provide technical input and advice to support HSE’s core regulatory functions of inspection, investigation, policy development and guidance.

The Construction Engineering Specialist Team (CEST) comprises 4 Principal Specialist Inspectors, holding the role of Technical Strategy Lead, and 2 Principal Specialist Inspectors holding the role of Team Leader. Each Team Leader heads a team of up to 8 Specialist Inspectors located across Great Britain.

**Job description**:
Our Civil and Structural Engineers help to ensure employers across Great Britain in a range of essential industries work safely. In this role, you can utilise your technical knowledge and practical experience to influence not only individual employers but whole industry sectors.

A career with HSE gives you a rare opportunity to visit and interact with different and diverse employers and work activities, one day you could be inspecting at a large construction project and the next investigating an incident at a small extension.

As a Construction Engineering Specialist, you’ll work alongside other technical specialists to ensure the work activities of those we regulate are operating within the legislative framework by inspecting, investigating, and assessing companies.

Your work with HSE will make the most of your experience - whether that’s evaluating the guidance being given to the emergency services in a rescue situation after an incident, identifying the cause of a structural collapse or providing technical assistance to colleagues undertaking complex investigations into serious incidents involving plant and equipment. This role will broaden your knowledge and challenge your engineering skills.

**Responsibilities**
- Inspect a variety of workplaces as part of a team, to make sure that risks are being actively managed and reduced, driving improvements and gaining commitment to comply with the law.
- Analysis of Construction Engineering related incidents to identify the root cause and where necessary, lead the technical aspect of the investigation, calling in other specialist support.
- Provide specialist opinion in reports to improve health and safety and guide legal decisions.
- Appear as an independent expert witness at tribunals, inquests and prosecutions.
- Secure intelligence, share information and advice towards policy, research, and guidance to benefit other Government departments, the public, industry, professional bodies and trade associations.
- Understanding and complying with statutory (and non-statutory) requirements - ability to understand and comply with legal requirements and technical standards and to carry out risk assessments.

**Given that HSE regulates sites across the whole of GB you will be expected to spend occasional periods working away from home which will include overnight stays**.

**Person specification**:
**Essential Skills and Criteria;**
- Be able to make a rapid appraisal of available information and evidence, considering potential failure modes, wider possible causation and deduce reasonable lines of enquiry to resolve problems.
- Be able to assimilate complex technical information and convey this to a variety of audiences, both technical peers and lay persons.
- Enjoy technical debate, be resilient and able to support your opinions with clear explanations and evidence when challenged yet have the flexibility to revise your position as necessary should new information come to light.
- Be a lifelong learner who welcomes fresh challenges.
- Aside from your technical experience, you will also have strong communication, analytical and planning skills. We value people who embrace and enable inclusivity, work well in a team and can build robust relationships with colleagues and those we regulate.

**Training**

At HSE, you can develop your expertise even further. While working, you will complete training to understand the legal requirements of this front-line role. This includes a mixture of e-learning and face to face tutorials. As well as learning on the job, you can complete bespoke courses to develop and grow your technical knowledge.

Acting as the independent expert witness in court proceedings is an integral part of this role, and you will be given support and training to develop your skills in this area.
