The business specialises in the design, construction, installation and maintenance of M&E systems, with a strong track record across data centres, critical infrastructure, healthcare, science and technology and other business critical environments. They operate as a principal contractor on major engineering projects, working with leading clients to deliver technically demanding schemes safely, efficiently and to a high standard.
They have an established presence within the datacentre sector, including major projects in Harlow, making this an excellent opportunity to join a technically strong project team working on a large scale development.
Health and Safety Opportunity:
They are currently looking for an experienced Health & Safety Advisor to join the project team on a major datacentre development in Harlow, Essex.
This is an excellent opportunity for a Health & Safety professional who enjoys working in a fast-paced construction environment and wants to be involved in a large scale, technically complex M&E project.
Datacentre experience is not essential. They are particularly interested in candidates who have worked on large-scale M&E, mechanical and electrical, construction or major infrastructure projects and can demonstrate a strong understanding of site based health and safety.
You will work closely with the Project Management and Construction teams, providing day-to-day H&S support and helping to ensure the project is delivered safely, compliantly and to the highest standards.
Key Responsibilities
* Provide proactive health and safety advice and support to the project management and site teams.
* Carry out regular site inspections, audits and behavioural safety observations.
* Monitor compliance with the Construction Phase Plan, RAMS and relevant company procedures.
* Review and provide feedback on risk assessments and method statements.
* Support the investigation of accidents, incidents, near misses and unsafe acts.
* Assist with the implementation and monitoring of the project Health & Safety Plan.
* Identify potential hazards and work with the construction team to implement effective control measures.
* Monitor subcontractor compliance and promote high standards of health and safety across the project.
* Participate in toolbox talks, site inductions and safety briefings.
* Maintain accurate H&S records, reports and inspection documentation.
* Support the project team with ongoing improvements to health and safety performance.
* Ensure relevant legislation, regulations and client requirements are understood and followed.
* Promote a positive and proactive safety culture across the project.
About You:
* Previous experience working in a Health & Safety Advisor or similar site based role.
* Experience within construction, M&E, engineering, infrastructure or a related environment.
* Experience working on large-scale projects with multiple subcontractors and site teams.
* NEBOSH General Certificate or equivalent H&S qualification.
* IOSH membership or working towards professional membership.
* Strong knowledge of UK construction health and safety legislation.
* Good understanding of RAMS, risk assessments, site inspections and incident investigation.
* The confidence to engage with everyone from site operatives and subcontractors through to senior project management.
* A practical, hands-on approach to health and safety.
* Strong communication and organisational skills.
Desirable Experience:
* Previous experience working on a data-centre or critical-environment project.
* Experience within large-scale M&E construction.
* Experience working for a principal contractor.
* Experience managing health and safety across complex construction projects.
* Relevant additional H&S or construction qualifications.
Data-centre experience is desirable but not essential. If you have a strong background in large scale M&E, construction or engineering projects, your experience will be considered.
Why Apply?
This is a great opportunity to join a highly experienced engineering business and work on a major, technically complex project in Harlow. You will have the opportunity to work alongside an established project team, gain exposure to a high-profile data centre environment and play a key role in maintaining excellent health and safety standards throughout the project.
