**About the role**

Drax has a large number of employees and contractors on site, and it is our responsibility to ensure these people are working safely.

You’ll contribute to the occupational hygiene sampling and testing programme for onsite and offsite locations and provide high quality reports for internal and external customers, as well as liaising with internal and external stakeholders to develop risk management policy positions.

You’ll be reviewing HSE guidance on various aspects of occupational hygiene and undertaking the Occupational hygiene monitoring program to ensure standards are continually improving. You’ll work with Drax cross-divisional Technical Working Groups to develop guidance and support improvement of plant standards for health.

It will be expected that you complete the British Occupation Hygiene Society (BOHS) development programme supported by Drax within your first two - three years in post to become a certified Occupational Hygienist.

This is a really exciting opportunity for you to grow and develop in the role and gain experience in all areas of the Drax business. No two days are the same, some days you’ll be office based and some days you’ll be out on site liaising with all different departments here at Drax.

**About you**

You’ll have recently graduated with a degree, 2:2 or higher equivalent, in a relevant area such as:

- Occupational health or occupational hygiene
- Chemistry
- Biological sciences
- Environmental sciences

A relevant post graduate qualification in occupational hygiene is desirable.

You’ll need to have a valid UK driving licence to be able to commute to our Selby site as no public transport is available.
