Lead safety. Influence leaders. Protect people and communities.
The Senior Health & Safety Business Partner is a senior leadership role within MBNL’s Health, Safety & Environment (HSE) function, reporting to the Head of Health, Safety and Environment. Managing a team of Health & Safety Business Partners, this role is central to embedding MBNL’s vision of “Everyone Home Safe and Well Every Day” across a complex, multi‑stakeholder organisation.
You’ll act as a trusted advisor and change agent—bringing together operational insight, strategic oversight, and performance intelligence to identify, manage, and reduce health, safety, and environmental risk across MBNL’s activities.
Why this role matters:
As MBNL evolves its capabilities as an Infrastructure Manager, safety leadership is critical. This role ensures that health and safety is not owned by HSE alone, but embedded within the business, understood at the frontline, and governed at an enterprise level. By providing strong direction and insight, you’ll help protect people, communities, and assets—while enabling safe delivery at scale and pace. This is a hybrid role with a minimum of 2 days per week in our Central Reading office.
