Job Description:

Health & Safety Manager – Construction
Location: London – covering multiple projects
Salary: £50,000 – £75,000 + Package

An excellent opportunity has arisen for a Health & Safety Manager to join a growing and well-established main contractor, working across two to three refurbishment projects throughout London.
The business specialises in delivering complex commercial and residential construction projects, with a strong portfolio of refurbishment, retrofit and new-build schemes across the capital. They take a hands-on, collaborative approach to project delivery and place a genuine emphasis on innovation, sustainability and continuous improvement.
Health & Safety is a key focus across the business, with procedures benchmarked against Tier 1 contractors and a culture built around open communication, workforce engagement, training and continuous improvement.

The Role
As Health & Safety Manager, you will work closely with project and site teams across two to three live refurbishment projects in London, ensuring consistently high standards of health, safety and compliance.
This isn't a role for someone who simply wants to police procedures. The business is looking for someone who can engage with people, build relationships and bring fresh ideas and initiatives to further develop the company's approach to Health & Safety.
Responsibilities will include:

• Managing Health & Safety across multiple London construction projects
• Carrying out regular site inspections, audits and reviews
• Supporting Site and Project Managers with Health & Safety matters
• Reviewing RAMS and ensuring appropriate procedures are implemented
• Identifying risks and recommending practical solutions
• Promoting a positive Health & Safety culture across project teams and subcontractors
• Delivering and supporting toolbox talks, briefings and training
• Monitoring compliance with company policies and relevant legislation
• Investigating incidents and implementing preventative actions
• Working collaboratively with site teams rather than taking a purely enforcement-led approach
• Introducing new ideas, initiatives and improvements to help continuously raise standards

About You
The successful candidate will ideally have:

• NEBOSH qualification – essential
• Previous Health & Safety experience within the construction industry
• Experience working across refurbishment projects would be highly advantageous
• Strong knowledge of UK construction Health & Safety legislation
• Experience supporting multiple live construction sites
• A practical and solutions-focused approach
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
• The confidence to challenge where necessary while maintaining positive relationships
• A flexible attitude and willingness to work as part of the wider project team
• The ability to bring fresh thinking and new initiatives into the business

Personality is particularly important. The company is looking for a likeable, approachable and flexible team player who can work effectively with everyone from site operatives and subcontractors through to senior management.

The Company
The contractor operates in the UK and forms part of a major European construction group. The UK business delivers complex residential and commercial schemes and has a strong track record across London, including major refurbishment and retrofit projects. Current projects include significant commercial redevelopments in Mayfair and Fleet Street, alongside a wider portfolio across the capital.
The business has also achieved ISO 45001:2018 certification and actively promotes Health & Safety through workforce consultation, training, data analysis and company-wide initiatives.
This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to join a growing contractor where they can have a genuine influence on Health & Safety, rather than simply maintaining an existing system.
