Summary

Ready to use your construction safety expertise somewhere it can make a visible difference?

Join us as the dedicated Health, Safety, Wellbeing and Environment Adviser for our Metal Mines programmes, helping deliver environmental remediation projects that improve communities and protect the environment across Wales and England.

You'll work with real autonomy, influencing decisions from design through to delivery, building trusted relationships with project teams, contractors and regulators, and helping create safer, healthier ways of working on complex construction projects.

What you'll bring

- NEBOSH General Certificate (or equivalent)

- Practical construction health and safety experience

- Knowledge of CDM 2015 and design risk management

- Confidence to influence, challenge constructively and build trust with stakeholders

- A collaborative approach that puts wellbeing alongside safety

We welcome experience from civil engineering, utilities, water, infrastructure, environmental remediation, highways, rail, quarrying and other complex construction environments. Previous mining experience is not required.

Why join us?

- Work on projects that deliver real environmental benefits

- Influence outcomes rather than simply monitor compliance

- Enjoy a varied role combining site visits, technical advice and stakeholder engagement

- Be part of a supportive specialist team with the freedom to make the role your own

Location: Hybrid working, with regular site visits across Wales and England and approximately one visit per month to our Mansfield office.

Interested?

If you have the essential qualification and construction experience, we'd love to hear from you. Apply today and discover how you can help create safer projects while making a lasting environmental impact.
