We're looking for a Safety, Health, Environment and Sustainability (SHES) Performance Analyst to help us understand, improve and influence SHES performance across some of the UK's largest and most complex infrastructure projects.
This is more than a reporting role.
You'll work directly with project teams, delivery partners and senior leaders, using data and insight to shape decisions, challenge thinking and drive meaningful performance improvements. You'll bring the story behind the data to life, helping teams understand not just what is happening, but why and what needs to happen next.

This role offers hybrid working, with flexibility to travel across England and Wales for team collaboration and site visits.

You'll
- Support the development of next-generation SHES intelligence capabilities, including advanced analytics, predictive insights and emerging AI-enabled reporting solutions.
- Develop and enhance SHES dashboards, KPIs and performance reporting using Power BI.
- Analyse complex datasets to identify performance trends, emerging risks, and opportunities.
- Transform data into clear, engaging insights that support decision-making and drive action.
- Present performance findings and recommendations to stakeholders at all levels, including senior leadership teams.
- Partner with SHES, PMO, project teams, and delivery partners to improve outcomes and performance culture.
- Challenge existing processes and help improve data quality, governance, and reporting standards.
- Support environmental and sustainability reporting across key priority areas including Net Zero, Nature, Resources and Social Value.
- Support Safety & Health reporting across key areas ensuring a balanced focus on both leading & lagging metrics.
- Help build a culture of transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement through data-led insights.
