Are you a safety professional who thrives on building genuine relationships on site, not just ticking compliance boxes? We're looking for a Safety Lead to champion a strong safety culture across multiple construction projects, working hand-in-hand with clients, crews, and stakeholders to keep our people safe and our projects moving.
About the Role
As Safety Lead, you'll take ownership of health and safety performance across a portfolio of active projects. You'll split your time between strategic planning and hands-on, on-the-ground delivery, leading a small safety team, engaging directly with clients on site, and building strong relationships with stakeholders at every level.
This is a role for someone who is equally comfortable setting the safety strategy in a boardroom and pulling on boots to walk a site with the crew.
What You'll Be Doing Multi-Project Leadership
