Description

Global Head of Safety you will be providing occupational safety leadership to all projects across Europe, UK & Caribbean.

 

Reporting into the Director of the group you will have full autonomy for your department.

 

Absolutely critical that you gain the same buy in and ethos from the Project Directors & Operations Manager that the current incumbent has successfully achieved. In the past there was a “them and us” between projects and the safety team and that cannot and will not be the case as we are one business all driving forward to deliver a top project successfully and SAFELY!

T/over £370 Million across 3 Civil Engineering Sectors. These sectors being Military, Aviation , Energy & General Infrastructure.

A small project could be £15 Million. Largest on site at present being a 5 Year Framework worth €260 Million.

Culture 

Work hard play hard. This is a Leading Main Contractor that are proud to do things differently.

You are not entering a giant PLC that have departments for department sake. This business is deliberately run lean as this makes it profitable and everyone has accountability.

This business treat employees, client and supply chain exceedingly well as they pride themselves or doing things in the “right way”.

You won’t be micromanaged as your a senior professional but you are taking over from someone that was very diligent and proactive to know his team and get across the projects.
