What you'll be doing:
  • Acting as a Health and Safety Advisor across multiple sites within the Peterborough, Lincolnshire area
  • Supporting project teams through regular site visits, inspections, and proactive SHEQ advice
  • Organising and delivering SHEQ assurance audits and supporting the close-out of actions
  • Leading or assisting with accident and incident investigations, reporting findings clearly
  • Analysing SHEQ performance data to identify trends, risks and opportunities for improvement
  • Engaging with clients, subcontractors and internal stakeholders to drive collaborative SHEQ standards
  • Contributing to the ongoing development and maintenance of externally certified SHEQ management systems
  • Promoting behavioural safety and a positive culture throughout all project phases
  • Highlighting opportunities for sustainable practices and improved environmental outcomes
What makes this Health and Safety Advisor role stand out:
  • Be a visible and influential Health and Safety Advisor - not stuck behind a desk
  • Work on meaningful water infrastructure projects that affect millions of people daily
  • Join a business that understands the value of proactive safety leadership and collaboration
  • Gain exposure to complex, multi-stakeholder environments and externally certified SHEQ systems
  • Career development opportunities within a people-first organisation
What's in it for you as the Health and Safety Advisor
  • £55,000 salary + £4,800 car allowance
  • Permanent, full-time role (Monday-Friday, 45 hours per week)
  • Projects across East and South East London, with flexible travel across other London-based sites
  • Supportive SHEQ leadership team and strong organisational backing
  • Long-term opportunity within a thriving and secure industry
  • Ideal for those from water, construction, rail or Tier 1 infrastructure sectors looking for progression
This is the perfect next step for a motivated and adaptable Health and Safety Advisor who wants more than box-ticking - someone who wants to build relationships, solve real problems and shape best practice across critical UK infrastructure.
