Are you a Health & Safety professional with strong CDM experience looking for a role where you can have a genuine impact across a varied portfolio of construction and facilities projects? This is an opportunity to join a growing safety team within a major international defence organisation, supporting projects across a UK-wide estate.

- Support the Principal Designer function for smaller construction works.
- Carry out site inspections and assess contractor compliance.
- Work directly with project teams and contractors to identify and manage safety risks.
- Support accident and incident investigations where required.

- Monitor contractor performance and produce relevant compliance reporting.
- Help develop and improve safety processes, procedures and working practices.
- Provide safety support across multiple UK sites, including regular travel to Bristol and Bolton.
