Job Description

Looking for a regional H&S role where you can manage your own diary, work closely with operational teams, and make a visible impact across multiple sites?

We re working exclusively with a well-established Utilities and Infrastructure organisation to appoint a Health and Safety Advisor. This role covers a defined patch across Bristol, Bath, Weston-super-Mare and Frome, operating on a home start basis with travel across live operational sites.

You ll be part of a structured HSEQ function that works closely with operations, focused on practical support and continuous improvement rather than a compliance-only approach.

Key responsibilities:

  • Provide day-to-day H&S support to operational teams and contractors
  • Carry out site audits, inspections and risk identification
  • Support behavioural safety and drive improvements on site
  • Investigate incidents and ensure effective follow-up actions
  • Support the development and communication of HS&E procedures
  • Build strong working relationships across sites and teams

Why consider this role:

  • Regional role with full autonomy to manage your own diary and workload
  • Home start contract travel from home to site, no fixed office base
  • Structured HSEQ team that supports operations, not polices them
  • Varied environment across utilities, civils and street works
  • Clear investment in training, development and long-term progression

Package:

  • Salary circa £52,000
  • Company car or car allowance
  • Bonus up to 10%
  • Enhanced pension contribution
  • 25 days holiday plus bank holidays
  • Hybrid working

What we re looking for:

  • NEBOSH General or Construction (or equivalent)
  • Experience within utilities, civils, highways or construction
  • Confident working across multiple sites and engaging with operational teams
  • If you re looking for a role where you can take ownership of a regional patch and influence safety on site, this is worth a conversation
