About the role

Are you a driven Health & Safety professional looking to make your mark on a major civil engineering project? I am currently partnering with a leading international infrastructure group to recruit a proactive and hands-on Health and Safety Coordinator. This is a fantastic opportunity to embed yourself within a dynamic site team, acting as the primary focal point for all health, safety, and hazardous materials coordination. Whether you have a few years of experience under your belt or are a highly motivated self-starter coming off a university placement, my client is ready to provide the training and platform for you to succeed.

Contract Details:

  • Rate: £17 per hour Umbrella (Inside IR35).

  • Duration: 12-month contract.

Key Responsibilities

  • Act as the controlling mind for all HAVS and COSHH coordination on site.

  • Safeguard vibration limits by strictly enforcing the project's 100-point limit, compared to the general business limit of 400 points.

  • Maintain an up-to-date COSHH Register, issue assessments via the Sypol system, and arrange face-fit testing where required.

  • Work closely with construction and plant teams during the design and planning stages to identify less hazardous methodologies and select tools with the lowest vibration emissions.

  • Conduct hands-on site checks alongside operations teams to ensure emergency equipment is present, control measures are implemented, and RAMS are fully up to date.

  • Develop and deliver safety training, including project inductions, toolbox talks, and topic-specific presentations.

  • Manipulate health and safety data using Excel to spot trends, produce management reports, and report out findings.

  • Assist in routine health and safety compliance audits, accident investigations, and Drug & Alcohol testing.

What We Are Looking For

  • A candidate holding a NEBOSH and a relevant CSCS card

  • Corporate Membership of IOSH (or working towards it)

  • A strong understanding of UK Health and Safety legislation, ACOP's, and the application of CDM 2015

  • Exceptional communication skills with the ability to secure buy-in from site teams regarding the importance of up-to-date documentation.

  • Strong IT skills, specifically across Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.

If you are ready to ensure compliance, address site issues head-on, and support the delivery of a landmark infrastructure project, I want to hear from you. Please get in touch to discuss this opportunity further.
