In this role, you will support the UK Safety Manager and collaborate with Safety counterparts ensuring compliance with both UK and US regulations and industry best practices. This role will assist with providing operational guidance and technical support to safety teams across diverse business units, fostering a robust safety culture.

Key responsibilities

Your expertise includes a deep understanding of UK Health and Safety legislation, particularly the Construction Design and Management (CDM) Regulations 2015, as well as hands-on experience with safety management systems. You actively contribute to safety training, audits, and compliance monitoring, and engage with Business Unit safety leads to ensure alignment with governance standards.
Your resilience, confidence, and willingness to challenge unsafe behaviours make you a strong advocate for continuous improvement.

Qualifications

Experience: Health and Safety expertise in high-risk sectors, with in-depth knowledge of construction and/or electrical operations.
Desirable: Technical experience in Electrical Operations
Skills: Strong Stakeholder management and communication skills, analytical skills, and proficiency with Microsoft programs including MS PowerPoint.
