The Opportunity
Are you an experienced HSE Manager looking for a new challenge within the construction industry?
D7 Recruitment is working with an established health and safety organisation operating across the UK and Europe to recruit two HSE Managers for projects in the North West of England.
This is an opportunity to take ownership of health and safety on live construction projects, work closely with clients and contractors, and make a genuine difference to how safety is managed on site.
We're looking for practical, approachable professionals who can build strong relationships, influence site teams and support safe project delivery.
The Role
As an HSE Manager, you will oversee health and safety arrangements across live construction projects, ensuring compliance with relevant legislation, including the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015.
You'll work closely with clients, contractors and project teams to provide practical advice, manage risks and promote a positive safety culture.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Managing site health and safety compliance, inspections and audits.
- Reviewing and maintaining project documentation, including Construction Phase Plans, risk assessments and emergency procedures.
- Coordinating contractor activities, permits to work and site safety meetings.
- Investigating incidents, identifying improvements and supporting corrective actions.
- Providing HSE leadership, supporting site teams and promoting proactive safety behaviours.
The role requires someone who understands the realities of construction and can balance compliance with practical project delivery.
Key Requirements
We're looking for candidates with:
- Previous experience in an HSE Manager or senior Health and Safety role within construction.
- A NEBOSH General Certificate and a sound understanding of CDM Regulations 2015.
- Experience managing contractors, reviewing RAMS and supporting safety on live construction sites.
- Strong communication, organisational and stakeholder management skills.
- Flexibility to travel and work away from home when required, including varying shift patterns.

- £45,000–£55,000 per annum, depending on experience.
- Car allowance.
- On-site bonus.
- 25 days' annual leave plus bank holidays.
You'll also have the opportunity to work on a variety of construction projects as part of an organisation with an established UK and European presence.
