The opportunity
We’re working with a specialist operator of high-hazard industrial storage infrastructure to appoint an Environmental, Health & Safety (EHS) Advisor for a busy, safety-critical site in West Coast Scotland.
This is a newly created role, offering the chance to shape standards on a developing operation and support the site’s continued progress towards full COMAH compliance. You’ll act as the day-to-day EHS point of contact for the local leadership team, supporting both operational activity and project work, and helping embed a strong, practical safety culture.
What you’ll be doing
- Provide professional EHS guidance to site leadership, operations and project teams, covering occupational safety, environment, risk and process safety.
- Support safe delivery of engineering and improvement projects, including CDM responsibilities where applicable.
- Help maintain and continuously improve the site’s Safety and Environmental Management Systems (SMS/EMS), aligning with recognised standards (e.g., ISO 45001 / ISO 14001).
- Carry out inspections, audits and assurance activities across site operations and contractor work.
- Lead or support incident/near-miss investigations, root cause analysis and corrective action close-out.
- Produce clear, actionable performance reporting and share learning to drive continual improvement.
- Contribute to emergency preparedness arrangements, exercises and readiness reviews.
- Support management of change by advising on suitable controls and safety barriers for engineering changes.
- Promote best practice and coach teams/contractors to improve EHS performance.
