* Work closely with contractors, suppliers and key stakeholders to promote safe working practices and environmental responsibility.
* Lead and support sustainability initiatives across the business.
* Facilitate, manage and deliver Health & Safety and sustainability-related projects.
* Conduct audits, inspections and risk assessments, ensuring any actions are completed effectively.
* Develop policies, procedures and training programmes to support compliance and continuous improvement.
* Manage, mentor and develop members of the Health & Safety team.
* Promote a positive safety culture throughout the organisation.
The successful candidate will have:

* The ability to manage multiple projects and priorities simultaneously.
* Strong leadership skills with experience managing or mentoring teams.
* A collaborative, solutions-focused approach with strong organisation, planning and problem-solving skills.
* A genuine drive to continuously improve processes, systems and outcomes.
