Working closely with designers, contractors and operational teams, you’ll help ensure projects are delivered safely, compliantly and to the highest standard—reinforcing ISS’s reputation as a leader in safety-focused facilities support.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Review and approve RAMS, challenging content and ensuring they’re fit for purpose
• Issue Authorities to Work and Permits to Work in line with agreed processes
• Complete risk assessments, site audits and contractor spot checks
• Provide practical, proactive HSEQ/CDM guidance to project and operational teams
• Coordinate designers and contractors in line with CDM Regulations
• Prepare and support PCI/PCC documentation and maintain the Health & Safety File
• Support the rollout and ongoing compliance of HSEQ/CDM plans
• Use reporting tools to track activity, identify trends and drive continuous safety improvement

What We’re Looking For

• Experience in a CDM, HSEQ or safety role within Projects or Facilities Management
• IOSH Managing Safely / NEBOSH
• CITB CDM qualification
• SSSTS or SMSTS certification
• Strong working knowledge of CDM Regulations and HSEQ management systems
• Familiarity with ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001
• Proven ability to assess risk and influence safer ways of working
• A confident communicator, comfortable engaging stakeholders at all levels
• Highly organised, able to juggle priorities in a fast-paced environment
• A clear commitment to championing a safety-first culture
• UK driving licence and flexibility to travel for site audits
