Health & Safety Director

Leading our Health & Safety team, you'll be responsible for the systems, processes and behaviours that make sure everyone leaves our sites across London safely at night. You'll be our point person on legislation changes, a great coach that helps teammates improve and the guardian of the measures and metrics that help us see reality clearly. You'll also be working cross[1]functionally, across different sites and teams, and you'll be well-versed in doing that successfully on other complex projects.

We're all about Pursuing Better, Differently at Mount Anvil. That means constantly evaluating how we can be better to both drive the behaviours that create a culture of safety and drive the numerical results that show that it's working to keep people safe across our London sites. We're a high performance culture. High performance in this role means keeping the bar extremely high – we're a ROSPA Gold Award winner, several British Safety Council Sword & Globe of Honours Awards and Mind Wellbeing Gold award winner to name a few. And with our construction turnover growing and set to double, that responsibility will keep growing.

You'll need to have led Health & Safety teams before as a Head of or Director in a contractor or developer and will have a strong knowledge of UK Environmental legislation. You'll have experience carrying out audits, in depth knowledge of compliance and you'll love tracking and analysing that data that comes from the H&S systems that we have. Ideally, you'll have been in residential environments, but commercial, hospitality, infrastructure and retail is welcomed too.

Reporting into our Delivery Director, Alun, who's got decades of experience on complex sites and is a great people person, you'll be managing a team of three health & safety coaches and will have huge impact and

responsibility in the business - safety is a priority here, it's high on the agenda of the Exec, and we talk about it every month company-wide in our business All Hands events. A cornerstone of our culture is getting better - to do this, you'll be expected to give and get feedback from day one. We think candour and openness is the fastest way to learn and to build trust – we hate unnecessary hierarchy and "my way or the highway" has no place here

Do the right thing – home safe and well everyday

What we do: We've worked in partnership for 31 years to create outstanding places in London. We're growing, with our construction turnover doubling, and with a pipeline of new projects where we're raring to get started and make a difference.

Why we're here: We're here to pursue better, differently.

Better: One of The Sunday Times' "100 Best Small Companies to Work For" for over a decade, winner of multiple Pride In The Job and WhatHouse awards for our people and the quality of our homes, and proud to have the nation's best site in our ranks (winning the highest possible marks across the Considerate Constructors Scheme's five areas – the first site ever to do so in 22 years of the CCS).

Differently:  Our culture is unusual. Different means more transparent with information. More direct with feedback that helps us all grow. More rigorous about setting goals, then giving more freedom to go and achieve them. It's definitely not for everyone. We don't hire know-it-alls, we hire "learn-it-alls".  As our CEO, Killian, says: "We work hard to find people who thrive on context and responsibility, rather than rules and procedures. We then work like owner managers, not a leader and a load of helpers."

Benefits:

Private medical insurance for you and your family through Vitality (including discounts on spa breaks, cinema tickets and your food shopping, free Starbucks, 50% off Virgin Active Membership and more).

Income Protection Insurance to help you cope financially if you're unable to work due to illness or injury, Life Assurance equivalent to four times your salary, your annual leave & Bank Holidays, enhanced maternity and paternity leave and workplace nursery salary sacrifice, allowing you to save tax and NI on monthly nursery fees. 

We think the best benefit of being here is the learning culture and the ability to make a real difference – we dislike hierarchy and politics, and "not my job" isn't in our vernacular. Which means if you really care about raising the bar and really want to feel connected to the end product, as opposed to like a cog in a big machine, this could be the place for you to grow your career.
