This is a hands-on, site-based HSE role suited to someone from a construction background, ideally with experience supporting pharmaceutical, life sciences, or other highly regulated environments.

• Provide practical, operational HSE support to live construction and project activities on site, working closely with project managers, contractors, and stakeholders.
• Prepare, review, and support the delivery of key HSE documentation, including risk assessments, RAMS/method statements, contractor plans, safe systems of work, and other project safety documents.
• Ensure all project-level HSE activities are carried out in accordance with applicable local legislation, client requirements, international standards, and company Environmental, Health and Safety standards.
• Work closely with the site PJM team to ensure site-specific contractor plans, project safety requirements, and the appropriate hierarchy of controls are embedded into project execution.
• Support contractor pre-qualification, onboarding, planning, and ongoing performance monitoring from an HSE perspective.
• Ensure project designs and execution plans are safe, practical, and aligned with engineering best practice, compliance requirements, and company/client safety standards.
• Manage, develop, and implement HSE programs and initiatives to meet regulatory requirements and the specific needs of the client account.
• Support project teams with task supervision and day-to-day site safety activities where required.
• Conduct site inspections, audits, and reviews to verify compliance and identify improvement actions.
• Lead or support accident, incident, near-miss reporting, recording, and investigation in line with company and client procedures.
• Coach and support the PJM team and other stakeholders in the use of HSE tools, processes, and techniques, ensuring they understand and fulfil their HSE responsibilities.
• Participate as required in presentations, consultations, bids, and contract discussions to support client requirements and project outcomes.
• Carry out any other duties reasonably aligned to the role.

Education / Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Environ, Science, OHS, Engineering or a related field.
• Professional certifications (e.g. Certified Safety Professional).
