  • Analysing performance trends and presenting insights to senior stakeholders
  • Supporting environmental and sustainability initiatives across projects

What We’re Looking For

  • Experience working on water or regulated infrastructure projects
  • NEBOSH Diploma (or equivalent)
  • Chartered IOSH status (CMIOSH)
  • Lead Auditor qualifications in ISO 9001, 14001 & 45001
  • Strong understanding of UK health, safety, environmental, and quality legislation
  • A confident communicator who can influence at all levels and drive continuous improvement

Why Apply?

  • Opportunity to influence major infrastructure projects with long-term investment
  • Clear career progression within a rapidly expanding business
  • Supportive leadership team with a strong people-first culture
