Job Description

Looking for a Health and Safety role where you can genuinely influence how a site operates?

We are recruiting for a growing UK energy business that is investing in its people, facilities and operational standards.

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys being out on site, building relationships and helping managers, employees and contractors work more safely.

You do not need to come directly from Energy from Waste.

We are keen to hear from Health and Safety professionals with experience in power generation, utilities, manufacturing, engineering, waste, recycling, chemicals, construction, logistics or another safety-critical industrial environment.

You will join a highly collaborative business led by an entrepreneurial senior team. The culture is supportive, fast-moving and practical, with good ideas welcomed and decisions made quickly.

What will you be doing?

You will become a key member of the site team, providing practical advice and helping improve health and safety standards across day-to-day operations.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Building a positive and proactive safety culture
  • Supporting managers with practical HSE advice
  • Completing site inspections and safety audits
  • Investigating incidents, near misses and unsafe conditions
  • Identifying root causes and monitoring corrective actions
  • Reviewing risk assessments, RAMS and safe systems of work
  • Monitoring contractor safety and permit compliance
  • Supporting employee and contractor inductions
  • Improving site procedures and management systems
  • Supporting ISO 45001 compliance
  • Producing clear reports for operational and Group leaders
  • Supporting shutdowns, maintenance projects and high-risk activities

What are we looking for?

You should have:

  • NEBOSH General Certificate or an equivalent qualification
  • Experience in a live industrial, engineering or operational workplace
  • Practical knowledge of UK health and safety legislation
  • Experience conducting audits, inspections and investigations
  • Confidence working with operational teams and contractors
  • The ability to challenge poor practice positively and constructively
  • Strong communication, organisation and reporting skills

Experience in energy, waste, recycling, utilities, manufacturing, process engineering or heavy industry would be particularly relevant.

ISO 45001 experience, an auditing qualification or formal incident-investigation training would be advantageous.

What makes this opportunity different?

  • Join a fast-growing and ambitious energy business
  • Work with an accessible and entrepreneurial leadership team
  • Become part of a genuinely collegiate and supportive culture
  • Take ownership rather than simply administer policies
  • Influence site behaviour, standards and decision-making
  • Gain exposure to major maintenance and shutdown activity
  • Develop your career within a growing UK organisation

The site is accessible from Motherwell, Hamilton, Bellshill, Airdrie, Coatbridge, East Kilbride, Glasgow and the wider Central Belt.

Apply now if you are a practical Health and Safety professional who wants to be visible, trusted and able to make a real difference.
