About the Opportunity:

We have been asked to source a Health & Safety Manager to head up a team within a £70m+ turnover RC frame & groundwork specialist contractor.

This position will report to the managing director of the business and will involve oversight of all of the business's live sites and the safety advisors. Based at our client's head office in Surrey with regular site visits across all of London, this will be a busy, fast-paced position, with senior management responsibility and client-facing expectations.

Your responsibility will be to uphold the excellent safety standards that this contractor currently maintains across all of their sites. Liaising with site teams, project management and office-based staff to make sure health & safety practice is monitored, controlled and applied. The culture of this business and team will already be on your side, but that doesn't mean you won't be able to bring your ideas to the fold and look to work with the team to ever improve such an important part of the process while working on some truly fantastic projects in and around London.

I should add that for those interested in progression, this opportunity does have the scope to progress into a HSEQ Director position, if the capability and drive of the individual match the expectations of such a role.

About the Company:

Established over 25 years ago and based out of their head office in Surrey, this £70+ million turnover business specialises in Concrete Frames, Groundworks and Basement Construction. They have a strong coverage of projects with previous package values ranging from £5 million up to £50 million each, primarily within the residential, commercial, leisure and education sectors. We have been preferred suppliers to this company for over 15 years and maintain a strong relationship with all the directors of the business.

What sets this business apart is its focus on safety and rewarding its staff.

The MD takes an active role in the safety department, making sure it is at the forefront of everything they do, not only to please clients but most importantly to make sure every person goes home safely at the end of every day. He is proud to stand by their safety record and the constant measures they take to maintain and improve this department.

In addition to safety, the focus on rewarding their staff is demonstrated in the constant career development that is offered and the targeted bonus structures that are in place to help encourage all the teams to go that little further. I truly believe this company operate in an excellent way.

About the Requirements:

To be considered for this opportunity, all applicants must hold NEBOSH qualifications (NEBOSH construction) and, if possible, also an applicable degree (although the degree isn't a must). You will also need to have worked for a rival RC frame and groundwork subcontractor in the UK, so you have an understanding of the works involved, the environment they work in, the risks on the packages involved, and the culture of these types of businesses.

Outside of this, the only other point to note is that this business works throughout London and the city centre, so all applicants should live in or around the South East to make the daily travel sensible.

About the Benefits:

For this position, I am targeting individuals earning anywhere from £50,000 to £70,000 per annum, depending on the individual's level of experience. In addition to basic salary, this business does offer a comprehensive benefits package including additions such as travel allowance, pension and bonuses. But the real attraction outside of just remuneration should be that if successful, you'll have the benefit of working for one of the best companies in this sector and all the experience/exposure that comes with that
