Health and Safety Manager
Health and Safety Manager | Milton Keynes | Construction, Roofing & Facades
Salary: Circa £70,000, depending on experience
Benefits: Company car or car allowance, pension, 21 days’ holiday plus bank holidays and additional service-related leave
Contract: Permanent, full-time
A.D.S Construction Personnel Ltd are working with an established group of specialist contractors to recruit a Health and Safety Manager for their Milton Keynes head office.
This is a senior, hands-on role covering health and safety, quality and compliance across three businesses operating in construction, roofing and facades. You will lead the function across the group, support live sites, take ownership of the quality management system and oversee PAS 2030 and ISO compliance.
The group includes an £18 million roofing contractor with more than 70 years’ combined industry experience, a construction division turning over approximately £9–£10 million and a growing facades business delivering cladding, metal roofing and fire remediation projects. The facades division was launched 18 months ago and has plans to reach £30–£40 million turnover.
You will be based in the Milton Keynes area, with regular travel to sites, and will work directly with the senior leadership team. This would suit an experienced Construction Health and Safety Manager who wants the authority to improve standards and shape the function rather than simply maintain existing systems.
