You will act as a trusted partner to operational teams - auditing, advising, influencing, and ensuring compliance across multiple sites, while contributing to a culture where SHEQ is embedded into everyday activity.
*Please note that this role is an initial 12-month fixed-term contract with a strong chance of becoming a permanent appointment.

- Carry out internal audits and inspections, identifying non-conformances, best practice, and improvement opportunities
- Assist in the creation and review of operational risk assessments and safe systems of work
- Support SHEQ-related change initiatives and ensure alignment with company policies
- Keep up-to-date with all relevant legislation, regulations and industry standards
- Act as a point of contact with external bodies (HSENI, local authorities) on behalf of the SHEQ Manager
- Prepare SHEQ performance reports, analysing trends and supporting improvement strategies
- Conduct accident and incident investigations, identifying root causes and recommending preventive measures
What you will need to succeed:
- Experience in a SHEQ or equivalent role
- NEBOSH General Certificate
- Working knowledge of safety regulations in the UK and Ireland
- Knowledge of auditing, risk assessments, and incident management
- IT and numeracy skills (MS Office)
- Excellent communication and influencing skills, ability to engage stakeholders at all levels
Desirable (it would be great if you have this, but don't worry if you don't):
- Degree in Health & Safety, Quality, or a related discipline.
- Experience within construction, utilities, or maintenance project environments
- Knowledge of ISO standards and integrated management system auditing
- Other relevant Health & Safety certifications
