Boost your Health & Safety career with a leading main contractor

Are you early in your Health & Safety career and eager to grow with the support of an experienced team?
We’re offering an exciting opportunity to join a highly regarded main contractor operating across Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire. You’ll be part of a professional Health & Safety team that’s passionate about creating safe, positive environments on construction sites.

You’ll gain hands-on experience across a wide variety of refurbishment and new-build projects – from commercial and education to accommodation and automotive sectors – with project values ranging from £5m to £75m.

Working closely with the Health & Safety Manager and experienced advisors, you’ll:

* A genuine interest in developing your career in construction safety.

* NEBOSH General or Construction Certificate (or currently working towards it).

* Good communication skills and a proactive, can-do attitude.

* A full UK driving licence and willingness to travel between sites.

Perhaps you’ve started your career as a Site Operative or Trainee Advisor and are ready to take the next step into a dedicated Health & Safety role — if so, we’d love to hear from you.
