HSE Advisor

We're the UK's largest ports operator with a network of 21 ports around Britain. We handle around one quarter of the UK's seaborne trade and contribute £7.5 billion to our economy every year.

It's a story we're proud of but it doesn't end there. We're transforming our business and embracing the future.

• Conduct audits, safety conversations, and inspections, ensuring corrective actions are tracked and completed.
• Facilitate HS&E Committees and engagement campaigns.
• Assist with incident investigations and reporting.
• Monitor and analyse HS&E performance data and metrics.
• Stay up to date with legislation and best practices.

• A recognised health and safety qualification (NEBOSH Certificate or equivalent)

• Effective communication skills; written and oral with ability to engage and build positive relationships and influence up to management level.
