Health and Safety Manager (construction)

Job Description:

Are you an ambitious Health & Safety professional looking to influence the safety culture of a powerhouse in the construction industry?

We are partnering with a leading national construction contractor to find a strategic and operationally sound Health & Safety Manager. Based out of their regional hub near Kettering, you will be a pivotal figure in ensuring excellence across a diverse portfolio of high-profile projects.

This isn’t just a "box-ticking" exercise. You will be joining a business that views H&S as a cornerstone of their success, not a hurdle. You will split your time between the Kettering office, site visits, and home, providing you with the autonomy to manage your own diary.

Key Responsibilities:

• Strategy & Leadership: Implement and evolve regional H&S strategies in line with national corporate objectives.
• Site Engagement: Conduct rigorous site audits and inspections, acting as a mentor to site management teams rather than just an auditor.
• Compliance & Systems: Maintain and improve ISO 45001 standards and ensure all projects are CDM 2015 compliant.
• Incident Investigation: Lead root-cause analysis for any incidents and ensure actionable learnings are embedded across the business.

The Profile Our client is looking for a communicator—someone who can bridge the gap between the boardroom and the boots on the ground.

• Experience: Proven track record within the Construction sector 
• Qualifications: NEBOSH is essential;
• Mobility: A full UK driving license is required for travel to various sites across the region.

What’s in it for you?

• Competitive Salary: £55,000 – £65,000 based on experience.
• Car Allowance: Significant allowance
• Hybrid Flexibility: A genuine balance between office, site, and home working.
• Growth: This contractor is known for promoting from within; you will have a clear roadmap for career progression.
