Base pay range

Health and Safety Advisor - Entry to Early-Career Opportunity

Salary: Up to £45,000

Travel: Home Based, covering national sites (all travel and accommodation expenses covered)

Looking for your next step in Health & Safety?

If you’re early in your career and looking to build your experience in a role where you can genuinely make an impact, this could be the perfect opportunity.

We’re working with a forward-thinking UK energy infrastructure company to find a Health, Safety, Quality and Environment (HSEQ) Advisor who’s ready to develop their career in a fast-moving, essential sector. Whether you’ve already had some exposure to construction or energy projects, or you’re stepping up for the first time, the team is open to someone who’s enthusiastic, capable, and ready to learn.

What’s in it for you

• Salary up to £45,000
• All fuel, travel and accommodation fully expensed
• Home-based working, live anywhere in England
• Flexible hybrid working approach
• Electric vehicle salary sacrifice scheme
• Join a business at an exciting growth period
• Access to retail discounts, employee assistance programme and healthcare cashback

Who would this suit?

This role would be a great fit for someone early in their HSEQ journey - maybe you’ve been working in a junior or assistant position, or you’re in a related role (engineering, utilities, site supervision) and looking to move into health and safety more formally.

You’ll be someone who’s confident working with people at all levels, comfortable challenging when needed, and always focused on improvement. Good communication is key here – both on site and in writing.

What you’ll need?

• NEBOSH General Certificate (or equivalent)
• Some experience in construction, infrastructure, or energy projects or transferring experience ‘off the tools’
• Full UK driving license and willingness to travel and stay overnight when required
• Strong communication and organisational skills

Why apply?

This is a chance to be part of a growing, future-focused business in one of the most important sectors in the UK. You’ll get variety, support, autonomy – and the chance to shape your own path in HSEQ.

The team cares more about the right person than ticking every box. If you’re motivated, communicative and ready to take the next step, we’d love to hear from you.

Please note: Applicants must have the right to work in the UK. Sponsorship is not available for this role.
