As the Corporate SHE Advisor, you’ll play a key role in guiding and empowering colleagues and partners working across a broad range of Corporate Support Services throughout the organisation to make safe, informed decisions. Working alongside the Corporate SHE Manager, you’ll help shape and continually improve our Group SHE Management System, offering clear information, training and insights that strengthen our safety culture.

You’ll build positive relationships across teams and with Contractor Partners to ensure risks are well understood and managed in areas such as the safe management of work, CDM, contractor engagement, and environmental protection.

This role involves engaging with a range of internal and external stakeholders, regularly visiting work sites across our UK and Ireland estate, and representing SSE at internal meetings and events. Through your thoughtful approach and commitment to our values, you’ll help ensure our people, customers and communities stay safe and well every day.
