Location: South London (field-based, travel across the region required)


About the Role

Are you a qualified Environmental Health Practitioner (BSc or MSc)? Do you want a role where you spend your days out in the field, working directly with clients, rather than stuck behind a desk writing reports?

As an EHP with Shield Safety, you will:

  • Carry out food safety and health & safety audits across a wide range of hospitality and retail businesses, from coffee shops to major high street brands.
  • Conduct field-based audits 5 days per week, using our tech-first approach—all audits are completed on tablets, meaning no lengthy reports or hours working from home.
  • Deliver professional, accurate advice to clients while representing one of the UK's leading environmental health consultancies.

Who We Are

Shield Safety has been making Every Day Safer for over 20 years. We work with high-profile clients such as Tesco, YO Sushi, Radisson Hotels, KFC, and more. With the largest team of EHPs in the country, we provide unrivalled career development opportunities and support.


What We Offer
  • Clear progression pathway: All EHPs are supported from day one on the path to becoming a Registered EHP.
  • Professional growth: We cover professional memberships and provide ongoing training.
  • Flexible benefits: 33 days holiday (including bank holidays), optional extra 5 days, flexible working, pension contribution, wellbeing support, discounts, and more.
  • Work in a tech-based, client-facing environment—no mountains of paperwork or long hours at home.
  • Exposure to leading hospitality and retail brands, and an opportunity to learn from industry thought leaders.

Qualifications & Requirements
  • BSc or MSc in Environmental Health
  • Strong communication and report-writing skills.
  • Ability to manage your own time and audits efficiently.
  • IT literate and confident using MS Office 365 and tablet-based systems.

This is a rare opportunity for qualified EHPs to work in a field-based, client-facing role with unparalleled career progression in the private sector.
