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.

* 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.

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

* 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.
