* Embed H&S by design, identifying and eliminating risks early in planning and design.

* Support safe delivery during construction and embed occupational health strategies for long-term operation.

* Champion HS2’s “Safe at Heart” culture across contractors, JV partners (Mace & Dragados), and stakeholders.

* Lead investigations, provide oversight, and ensure compliance with assurance processes.

About You

We’re seeking a senior-level H&S professional who can influence at scale and drive real cultural change. You’ll bring:

* NEBOSH Diploma (or equivalent qualification).

* Experience on major, complex infrastructure projects – rail, airports, nuclear, utilities, or large civils.

* Strong expertise in H&S by design and early-stage risk mitigation.

* Proven ability to influence, engage, and lead across multi-stakeholder environments.

* Analytical, problem-solving mindset with a track record of driving best practice
