• Act as a key HSE liaison with the client and other project stakeholders
• Report on HSE performance, trends, risks and corrective actions
• Promote a strong safety culture throughout the project

About You

We are looking for candidates with:

• Proven HSE experience within the data centre sector – essential
• Experience leading HSE at site/project level
• Strong knowledge of construction HSE practices
• Experience working with major subcontractors and project stakeholders
• Excellent communication and client-facing skills
• Ability to operate confidently within a fast-paced, high-pressure construction environment

Experience working with UK or Irish main contractors would be highly advantageous, although this is not essential.
