We're looking for a SHE Advisor to support our project teams across the East Midlands, Yorkshire and North East.
Are you NEBOSH qualified and looking to develop your career in Safety, Health and Environment? Perhaps you're already working in SHE, you're a construction Supervisor looking for a change of direction, or you're considering how your skills from another industry or the Armed Forces could transfer into construction?
We're looking for a SHE Advisor to support our project teams across the East Midlands, Yorkshire and North East.
You'll work alongside operational teams across a variety of construction projects, providing practical advice, support and guidance to help create safe, healthy and responsible working environments. You'll have the opportunity to build your construction knowledge while working with experienced colleagues across the region.
You'll spend time with our project teams, providing practical SHE advice and helping colleagues understand and implement the standards expected across our sites.

Helping identify hazards and supporting effective risk management
Reviewing working practices and promoting continuous improvement
Supporting incident investigations and sharing lessons learned
Building positive relationships with project teams and supply chain partners

You may already be working in a SHE role within construction, or perhaps you're a Site Supervisor with a strong interest in health and safety who is ready for a career change.
We'd also welcome applications from NEBOSH-qualified people from other industries or an Armed Forces background who can demonstrate transferable skills and a genuine interest in developing a career within construction.
