  • Provide expert health and safety advice to project teams, ensuring compliance with relevant legislation, industry best practices, and Southern Water's standards.
  • Lead site inspections, hazard management activities, and root cause investigations on capital delivery sites.
  • Offer practical coaching and mentoring to project managers and site supervisors to enhance their ability to monitor and ensure compliance.
  • Provide technical advice in high-risk areas, including chemical storage, temporary works, Construction Design and Management (CDM), site set up, excavations, service avoidance, and other hazardous substances present in capital delivery projects.
  • Lead incident investigations, reporting findings directly to the Head of HSW and HSSW Director and making recommendations for corrective actions.

  • Liaise with the Security and Wellbeing teams to ensure alignment between safety and security practices on capital projects.

What You'll Bring

  • Comprehensive knowledge of health and safety legislation and industry best practices, with proven experience applying these principles in a project or capital delivery context.
  • Experience in a health and safety advisory capacity, preferably within construction. Exposure to process safety is highly desirable.
  • You must have NEBOSH Diploma or equivalent qualification, and a minimum of CertIOSH/GradIOSH status (CMIOSH, or CFIOSH highly desirable).
  • Strong background in CDM 2015 Regulations and their application to major construction projects.
