You will oversee safety performance across key property-related areas such as fire safety, water hygiene, electrical safety, asbestos management and environmental compliance.

  • Review and appropriately challenge contractor RAMS, competence evidence and Permits to Work.

  • Offer technical safety input on property refurbishments, maintenance and construction projects, including support for CDM client responsibilities.

  • Carry out property safety inspections, escalate critical issues and ensure timely completion of corrective actions.

  • Lead or support incident investigations, sharing learning outcomes to drive continuous improvement.

  • Promote awareness of environmental legislation and support organisational environmental objectives.

What We’re Looking For

  • NEBOSH General Certificate and NEBOSH Fire Safety Certificate (or equivalent).

  • Proven experience managing property and facilities safety across multiple sites.

  • Strong understanding of UK property safety and environmental legislation.

  • Clear and confident communicator with excellent stakeholder management skills.

  • Experience reviewing RAMS, conducting safety inspections and verifying contractor competency.

  • Skilled in incident/accident investigation and root-cause analysis.

  • Highly organised, analytical and able to influence positive safety outcomes.

This role requires travel across sites in southern England and Scotland, with occasional overnight stays.
