- Description
- SHEQ Advisor
Package: £42k to £50k + Car or Allowance + Benefits
Location: South East with hybrid working and regular site visits
Are you a practical, site-focused SHEQ professional who prefers being out with the teams rather than stuck behind a desk?
Do you want a role where you can genuinely influence behaviours on site, raise standards, and build a proper safety-first culture rather than just tick compliance boxes?
If you enjoy coaching supervisors, improving systems, and being the go to person for safety, environmental, and quality support across live projects, this is a strong opportunity to step into a visible and valued position.
The Company
Our client is a specialist contractor delivering sports pitches, landscaping, civils, and associated infrastructure projects across the UK, working with schools, local authorities, and commercial clients.
They operate with a strong reputation for quality and long term client relationships, supported by certified management systems and a proactive approach to safety and sustainability.
With continued growth and a busy pipeline, they are strengthening the SHEQ team to ensure standards remain high across every site.
The Role
Working closely with the Head of SHEQ, you will support the delivery of safety, environmental, and quality management across multiple projects.
This is a hands on role with a strong site presence. You will be visible to supervisors, engineers, and subcontractors, providing practical guidance, carrying out inspections, and helping teams get things right first time.
You will play a key part in embedding a positive behavioural safety culture while maintaining compliance with ISO standards and client expectations.
Key Responsibilities
• Support the preparation and review of RAMS and Construction Phase Plans
• Carry out regular site inspections, audits, and toolbox talks with clear reporting and action tracking
• Coach operational teams and subcontractors on safe systems of work
• Support incident reporting, investigations, and lessons learned
• Monitor compliance with ISO 45001, 14001, and 9001 standards
• Track environmental performance and support sustainability initiatives
• Review subcontractor SHEQ documentation during onboarding and live works
• Assist with traffic management planning and site logistics at tender and delivery stages
• Maintain training records and book relevant CSCS, CPCS, NPORS, and HSE courses
• Deliver inductions and refresher training on site
• Update internal SHEQ systems, documentation, and dashboards
• Prepare monthly reports and support internal and external audits
• Attend pre start and progress meetings as the SHEQ representative
• Act as the day to day point of contact for clients and subcontractors on compliance matters
What We’re Looking For
• NEBOSH Certificate or equivalent with IOSH membership
• Around three or more years’ experience in construction SHEQ, ideally within civils, groundworks, or sports projects
• Confident producing and reviewing RAMS and delivering audits
• Comfortable working across multiple sites and building relationships with site teams
• Strong communication skills with the ability to coach and influence rather than police
• Organised, detail focused, and proactive in solving issues before they escalate
• Familiar with Microsoft Office and digital systems such as SharePoint or similar
Why Join
• Varied, site based role with real influence on projects and people
• Work closely with an experienced Head of SHEQ and senior leadership team
• Growing contractor with a steady pipeline of secured work
• Hybrid flexibility with a good mix of office, home, and site
• Competitive salary, car or allowance, 25 days holiday, and pension
If you are a practical SHEQ Advisor who enjoys being on site, building relationships, and raising standards in a constructive way, this is a solid next step with a business that takes safety and quality seriously.
