🦺🏗️ Health, Safety & Environmental Manager – Construction / Fit-Out 📋✅
Salary: £70,000 – £80,000 + benefits package
Hours: Monday to Friday, 40 hours
Start: ASAP (willing to wait for notice period)
Contract: Permanent / Full-Time
Location: London Head Office & site-based (multiple projects)
🚀 Want to be the person who sets the safety standard, not the one who inherits it?
Culture Guru is partnering with one of London's most respected privately owned construction and fit-out contractors – a business that's grown on the strength of doing things properly – and they're expanding their safety team with a brand-new Health, Safety & Environmental Manager role. This isn't a backfill. It's a newly created seat at the table, reporting straight into the Health & Safety Director, supporting every division of the business, with an HSE Apprentice to mentor and a portfolio of live London projects to make your own.
💫 This is a proper, boots-on, site-facing role – no hiding behind a desk. You'll be the go-to safety voice across multiple live projects: inspecting, auditing, challenging and making sure the Health & Safety Management System lives on site, not in a ring binder. You'll shape Construction Phase Plans and Fire & Emergency Plans, tear through subcontractor RAMS, deliver inductions that people actually listen to, lead site H&S meetings, get to the bottom of incidents and near misses, and make sure every action is closed out on time. Behind the scenes you'll support the wider business on ISO 45001, 9001 and 14001 – and you'll have a real say in the initiatives that push performance forward.
⭐ We're looking for a confident construction safety professional who knows what good looks like on a busy site and isn't afraid to say so – but who builds a safety culture people buy into, rather than just policing one. You've got NEBOSH Construction, NEBOSH General and a Temporary Works qualification in your back pocket, and at least three to five years leading H&S on large construction projects. Calm, professional and assertive, you can influence anyone from the operative on the gate to the Divisional Director, and you're driven enough to raise standards without being asked twice. That's the person who'll thrive here.
