Description
Are you an HSEQ professional who enjoys being close to operations, influencing safe behaviours, and helping teams deliver work the right way? We are looking for a proactive HSEQ Advisor to join our contract HSEQ team, supporting one of our regional operational areas and reporting to the HSEQ Lead.
In this hands-on role, you will be a visible and trusted point of contact for health, safety, environmental and quality matters.

- Maintain and promote high standards of health, safety, environmental and quality compliance across operational activities.
- Carry out site inspections, assurance visits and verification checks, ensuring findings and non-conformances are followed through to effective closure.
- Support accident, incident and near-miss investigations, helping teams identify root causes, learn lessons and implement practical corrective actions.
- Encourage positive intervention reporting, unsafe act and condition reporting, and a proactive approach to continuous improvement.
- Produce weekly and monthly updates that highlight achievements, trends, risks, issues and opportunities for improvement.
- Work with operational teams to drive timely close-out of corrective actions raised by internal compliance reviews, client feedback and external audits.
- Compile accident and incident statistics for the contracts you support and contribute to client and contract performance meetings.
- Build strong working relationships with supervisors, operatives, contractors, clients and support functions to improve ways of working.
- Be a visible HSEQ presence on site and in the office, coaching teams and promoting safe, responsible and professional behaviours.
- Support training and competency compliance, helping ensure operational teams have the right skills, knowledge and authorisations to work safely.
- Assist the Quality Assurance and Environmental Lead with management system requirements and accreditations, including ISO 45001, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001.
- Continue to develop your knowledge of our services, our clients and the wider utilities sector as the business grows.
