HSE Manager
Location: Hayes, London
Sector: Data Centres & Mission Critical Construction
Salary: £60,000 - £75,000 + Package
The Opportunity
A leading specialist contractor is looking to appoint an experienced HSE Manager to support the delivery of a major hyperscale data centre project in Hayes, West London. The scheme comprises 18 data halls of approximately 1,250m² each, delivering around 24MW of usable IT power, together with high and medium voltage energy infrastructure, backup generation, circulation routes, landscaping, and dedicated visitor facilities.
You will become a key part of the project leadership team, helping to create a safe, compliant, and high-performing construction environment. This is a hands-on role where your influence will be felt across site operations, workforce engagement, assurance, incident prevention, and continuous improvement.
Role Overview
You will be responsible for supporting the project team in implementing robust health, safety, and environmental standards across all construction activities. You will spend your time out on site as well as working closely with project leadership, reviewing risk assessments and method statements, monitoring high-risk activities, and ensuring legal, client, and company requirements are being consistently met.
You will carry out inspections, audits, and behavioral observations, ensuring actions are closed out properly rather than simply recorded. Where incidents or near misses occur, you will support investigations, help identify root causes, and make sure corrective actions lead to measurable improvement.
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.
A major part of the role will be engagement. You will deliver inductions, toolbox talks, and workforce briefings, work closely with subcontractors, and help create a culture where people take ownership of safety. You will also support statutory inspections, project assurance activities, and the ongoing development of HSE processes across a technically complex mission-critical environment.
About You
You are an experienced construction HSE professional who is comfortable operating on large, fast-paced projects and engaging with everyone from site operatives through to senior management and client representatives. You have previously monitored high-risk activities, undertaken audits and inspections, and supported incident investigations and corrective action programs.
You understand how ISO 45001, ISO 14001, and ISO 9001 translate into practical site controls and you are confident challenging unsafe behavior in a professional and constructive way. MEP or data center experience would be particularly valuable, although candidates from other technically demanding construction environments will also be considered.
