SHEQ Advisor

SHEQ Advisor - Clean Water & Civils Projects 
£45,000–£50,000 DOE + Company Car or Salary Sacrifice Options 
Tipton office base | Site-based across the Midlands

I’m recruiting for a SHEQ Advisor to join an established contractor delivering civil engineering projects across clean water networks across the Midlands. The work ranges from excavations and trenching to the construction of water treatment works and plants.

You’ll join an established SHEQ team and spend time across around 10+ sites, working directly with engineers, supervisors and subcontractors. You can travel straight from home to sites, with monthly team meetings at the Tipton office. This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys getting to know site teams, can challenge constructively and is comfortable helping people find practical ways to work safely.

What you’ll be doing

• Provide day-to-day safety, health, environmental and quality advice to site teams, managers and subcontractors.
• Carry out site inspections and audits, agree corrective actions with operational teams and follow them through to completion.
• Review risk assessments, method statements (RAMS) and safe systems of work, and check how they’re being applied on site.
• Support incident and near-miss investigations, identify root causes and share lessons with site teams.
• Monitor environmental controls such as waste management and pollution prevention, and support quality inspections and non-conformance reporting.
• Review subcontractor SHEQ performance and deliver inductions, toolbox talks and training.

What we’re looking for

• At least three years’ relevant SHEQ experience in construction, civil engineering, utilities or a similar operational environment.
• A NEBOSH General or Construction Certificate, or an equivalent Level 3 qualification.
• A good working knowledge of UK health and safety legislation, with practical experience of site inspections, audits, incident investigations and RAMS reviews.
• An approachable style and the confidence to work with everyone from operatives to project managers.
• A full UK driving licence and the ability to travel regularly to sites across the Midlands.

Experience on clean water, treatment works or wider infrastructure projects would be valuable. A previous trade or site operations background, IOSH membership or experience auditing ISO management systems would also be welcome.
