We are looking for a talented Health, Safety and Environmental Advisor to join our team specializing in Health and Safety for our Engine Business Unit in Darlington, United Kingdom.
This is a permanent, on-site position working 37.5 hours per week:
Monday to Thursday: 08:00am – 16:30pm Friday: 08:00am – 13:30pm
In this role, you will make an impact in the following ways:
Embed HSE into project delivery: Ensure health, safety and environmental requirements are fully integrated into project planning, execution and handover so compliance is achieved by design, not retrospectively. Provide independent, expert HSE challenge: Apply professional judgement to question unsafe practices, verify risk controls and challenge non-compliance to protect people, assets and the environment. Enable legally compliant decision-making: Translate legislation, Cummins HSE standards and recognised best practice into clear, practical guidance that project and operational teams can confidently apply. Drive risk-based controls: Systematically identify hazards, evaluate risk and define proportionate control measures that are tailored to the project scope and risk profile. Support safe work systems: Strengthen safe systems of work by validating permits, method statements and control effectiveness throughout the full project lifecycle. Exercise authority to intervene when needed: Act decisively to stop work, require corrective action or escalate risks where there is unacceptable residual risk to health, safety or the environment. Prioritise actions by risk and impact: Focus time and resources on the highest-risk activities, ensuring HSE efforts deliver meaningful risk reduction and business value. Build credibility and accountability: Establish trust with project teams through clear, evidence-based advice while retaining ownership of day-to-day HSE decisions at shop-floor and project level.
