Are you a Construction Specialist H&S Advisor with a large amount of experience of developing and delivering bespoke, practical guidance and procedures, who is good at offering support and advice both on site and within a Head Office environment and who wants to move away from a consultant’s role to be part of a company’s in-house health & safety team or are fed up of having to stop away from home and want to get home every night, then Jelson could be the right next move for you.

- Create risk assessments & method statements and review / comment on contractors RaMs and procedures.
- Develop SSOW, safety bulletins and H&S manual updates and ensure that they are distributed to those affected by the documentation.
- Be proactive in rolling out new H&S initiatives, guidance, safety alerts etc., ensuring they are implemented, understood and complied with in the workplace.
- Develop & deliver H&S training and toolbox talks on specific topics and Group health & safety policies & procedures.
- Compile information, take statements and produce accident and incident reports for use internally and by external parties.
- Monitor the effectiveness of H&S (inc requirements of CDM) through inspections and audits on procedures, registers & paperwork, giving feedback, advice & support on your findings.
- Produce reports/KPIs/statistics at the request of the Director of Health & Safety to form part of the monitoring process.
- Minimum of 3 years credible Health & Safety experience (construction sector, ideally in new build)
- Strong interpersonal skills with a pragmatic, ‘can do’ attitude to dealing with issues and problem solving
- Ability to be an effective & contributing member of a diverse health & safety team
- A thorough knowledge of legislation (inc CDM regs.) and how to interpret it for use across the business
- Experience of accident investigation, statement taking & report writing
- Experience of undertaking inspections / audits on construction sites
- Certificate in Construction Health & Safety (NEBOSH, NVQ, NCRQ or equivalent)
