The business delivers mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, control and automation work on water and wastewater sites, and has reached the stage where it needs a dedicated SHEQ resource. The SHEQ & Compliance Advisor will look after the ISO management systems, audit and inspect sites, train the workforce and drive the company's digital SHEQ system.

The role would suit a junior SHEQ coordinator or an experienced SHEQ Advisor who wants to gain experience with a growing, progressive company. Water industry experience is preferred.

  • Maintaining compliance with ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001, including procedures, records, corrective actions and legal compliance registers.
  • Carrying out internal audits and supporting external certification audits.
  • Undertaking site health and safety audits and inspections across water and wastewater sites, including behavioural safety observations and checks on RAMS and permits.
  • Assisting with accident, incident and near miss investigations and monitoring the close out of corrective actions.
  • Delivering toolbox talks, safety briefings, CDM 2015 awareness training and inductions, and keeping training records up to date.
  • Acting as SiteMate administrator: building digital forms and workflows, training office and site staff and producing monthly SHEQ performance reports.
  • Supporting environmental compliance, client SHEQ meetings and framework requirements, and Principal Contractor and Principal Designer duties where applicable.

Candidate Requirements

  • A minimum of 3 years SHEQ experience, ideally within the UK water industry.
  • Working knowledge of ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 management systems.
  • Experience conducting site audits and inspections.
  • Experience delivering toolbox talks and training, with knowledge of CDM 2015.
  • Competent IT skills, including Microsoft Office and SiteMate or similar systems.
  • A full UK driving licence and willingness to travel to sites throughout the South of England.

What's on Offer

  • Salary of £30,000 to £50,000 per annum, depending on experience.
  • Full time, permanent role.
  • Hybrid working: one to two days in the Hampshire office, at least two days on site across Hampshire and the Thames Valley, and one day from home.
  • The chance to gain experience and progress with a growing, progressive water industry business.

If you are a SHEQ Advisor or junior SHEQ coordinator looking to gain experience with a growing, progressive company, please apply with your most up to date CV.
