The Opportunity
Do you want a Health & Safety role where you can genuinely influence how major infrastructure projects are planned and delivered?
Principal People are working with a leading Tier 1 infrastructure contractor to recruit 2 x Health & Safety Advisors to support a major infrastructure framework across Yorkshire. Driven by significant growth and an increasing workload, the contractor has approximately 20 live projects, with further expansion anticipated across its secured infrastructure portfolio.
The work is increasingly focused on pipeline installation, heavy civils, excavations, service avoidance, and water main replacement schemes, offering the opportunity to get involved in a varied portfolio of essential infrastructure projects. You'll join an established and growing H&S team, working closely with operational teams throughout the project lifecycle. This is a hands-on role for someone who can bring a practical, forward-thinking approach to health and safety, influence decision-making, and act as a trusted advisor to the business.
What you will be doing
- Providing practical HS&E support across infrastructure projects throughout Yorkshire and parts of Northumbria.
- Working closely with operational teams to identify risks, improve performance, and promote a positive health and safety culture.
- Supporting projects involving pipeline installation, heavy civils, excavations, service avoidance, and water main replacement.
- Conducting site inspections, audits, and HS&E reviews across live projects.
- Reviewing RAMS, Construction Phase Plans, and wider project documentation.
- Providing guidance on temporary works, excavations, service avoidance, and plant interface activities.
- Supporting incident investigations, identifying lessons learned, and driving continuous improvement.
- Building strong relationships with operational teams, clients, and supply-chain partners.
- Constructively challenging operational practices where required, acting as a critical friend to the business, and supporting safe, effective project delivery.
