Across the UK, our branches support local communities with everything they need for building, improving and creating – we couldn’t do it without our people and that’s where you come in!

You'll play an important role in helping to create a safe, healthy and environmentally responsible workplace across our branch network. Working closely with operational managers, you'll provide practical advice, guidance and support to help them meet their health, safety, quality and environmental responsibilities.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Provide practical health, safety, environmental, and quality (HSEQ) advice and support to Branch Managers, Regional Performance Directors, Regional Managers, and operational teams across the region.
• Carry out branch audits and inspections, reporting on performance and identifying opportunities for improvement.
• Work closely with operational teams to develop and implement effective corrective actions that drive compliance and continuous improvement.
• Investigate accidents, incidents, and near misses, helping to identify root causes and preventative measures to reduce the risk of recurrence.
• Monitor and follow up on agreed actions, ensuring improvements are completed within agreed timescales.
• Act as a trusted subject matter expert on key health, safety, environmental, and risk management matters.
• Support the wider HSE team, contributing to regional and business-wide initiatives, projects, and best practice sharing.
• Deliver coaching, guidance, and training to help build HSE knowledge, confidence, and capability across operational teams.
• Provide balanced, pragmatic advice that considers both operational requirements and risk management principles.
• Maintain accurate records, reports, and documentation relating to audits, investigations, and HSE activities.
• Take ownership of your own professional development, keeping up to date with legislation, industry standards, and best practices.
• Support additional HSE priorities and projects as required, helping to promote a positive safety culture across the business.
