Construction Health and Safety Manager required to oversee the health, safety, and environmental management on a Nuclear Power Plant construction project. As a key member of the senior leadership team, you will be responsible for implementing and ensuring compliance with all health and safety regulations on this major, high-risk construction project.

This is a groundbreaking project, on a new-build nuclear power plant on the Suffolk coast, set to play a critical role in the UK's energy future. The project will involve the construction of two new nuclear reactors, providing low-carbon energy for decades to come. This highly complex and large-scale development requires an experienced health and safety leader to ensure the highest standards of safety are upheld throughout the construction phase.

Responsibilities include:

Leading the development, implementation and enforcement of robust health and safety policies, ensuring compliance with all statutory and regulatory requirements throughout the construction process.

Conducting regular risk assessments and safety audits to identify potential hazards, mitigating risks and implementing necessary corrective actions to maintain a safe working environment.
