We are recruiting for an experienced Health, Safety & Environment (HS&E) Manager to lead HS&E across multiple UK+ offices. This role offers the opportunity to shape and enhance safety culture within an established and growing international consultancy.


Why Join?

• A privately owned, international engineering consultancy with around 3,500 employees worldwide, including 1,400 in the UK.
• Rapidly growing business, having more than doubled in size over the last few years.
• A medium-sized consultancy with a strong sense of community and a personal approach to leadership.
• Dynamic projects with innovation at the heart of operations.
• A company where people enjoy working and staying due to the culture and opportunities for growth.
  

The Role
Reporting operationally to the COO and working closely with the Global Health & Safety Director, you will:

• Lead the HS&E strategy and drive a strong safety culture across all UK+ offices.
• Ensure compliance with ISO 45001 and ISO 14001 and oversee internal and external audits.
• Implement and review safety policies and procedures to ensure they remain fit for purpose.
• Oversee the site safety initiative, ensuring engineers working externally are trained, equipped, and supported with dynamic risk assessments.
• Address emerging risks, including driver safety improvements.
• Work with ESG teams and office managers to support net-zero carbon initiatives.
• Oversee energy efficiency and sustainability measures, ensuring they are properly budgeted and tracked.
• Manage one direct report (who will be part of the hiring process).
• Lead on high-level incident investigations and communicate lessons learned.

What We’re Looking For
Qualifications & Training

• NEBOSH Diploma
• Tech IOSH or higher

Key Skills & Experience

• Pragmatic and dynamic approach—an enabler rather than a rigid rule enforcer.
• Ability to influence leadership and embed cultural change.
• Experience in engineering, construction, or consultancy is beneficial, but a corporate background will also be considered.
• Strong auditing experience with ISO standards.
• Knowledge of the Building Safety Act, asbestos regulations, and refurbishment projects is an advantage.
• Experience project managing ESG or environmental initiatives is desirable.
• Strong communication skills, leadership presence, and gravitas.
  

Not Suitable For:

• Candidates with purely contractor-based health and safety backgrounds.
