We are looking for an experienced HSE Advisor to join a major HVDC infrastructure project in Scotland.
This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in the delivery and installation of 525kV high-voltage cable systems, supporting the expansion of renewable energy and the continued development of the UK's electricity transmission network.
Working as part of a highly experienced project team, you will provide hands-on HSE support across onshore and nearshore activities, working closely with site management, installation teams, contractors, and subcontractors.
The Opportunity
This is a predominantly site-based role, suited to an HSE professional who enjoys being actively involved in project delivery and maintaining high standards of health, safety, and environmental performance on site.
You will be a visible and proactive HSE presence, supporting the project team and ensuring safe working practices are maintained throughout construction and installation activities.
