Overview
I’m working with a well-established main contractor who is looking to appoint a Head of Health & Safety to lead their UK operations. This Head of Health & Safety role is a key position within the business, overseeing safety across multiple live projects and managing a team of Safety Advisors. You’ll be working closely with senior leadership in the UK while also reporting into a Group Safety Director.
This is not a purely office-based Head of Health & Safety position. They’re looking for someone who is hands‑on, regularly on site and able to build strong relationships with project teams while driving standards across the business.
Responsibilities
- Lead the UK function as Head of Health & Safety across multiple projects
- Manage and support a team of Safety Advisors
- Work closely with Project Managers and Directors on live sites
- Drive a proactive approach to health & safety across the business
- Carry out site visits, audits and support investigations when required
- Report into senior leadership in the UK and Group function
Requirements
- 10+ years’ experience in construction health & safety
- Previous experience in a Head of Health & Safety or Senior HSE Manager role
- Background with a Tier 2 contractor or large subcontractor
- Experience managing H&S teams
- Hands‑on approach with strong site presence
- Confident influencing and challenging site teams
- Strong communication skills and practical mindset
This Head of Health & Safety role would suit someone currently operating at a senior level who wants more ownership and the chance to shape safety across a growing UK business.
