• Smart working with up to 2 days a week working from home
• Private healthcare (family cover)
• 25 days holiday plus bank holidays
• Enhanced family leave and flexibility policies
• Pension, share scheme and volunteering leave
• Structured training, career development and support from a high-performing HSE team

Why Join?

• Meaningful Work – Help shape the future of UK infrastructure and set new benchmarks for occupational health
• Career Progression – Join a growing national HSE team with strong support for professional development
• Impact – Be part of a team making measurable contributions to health protection, project safety, and sustainability
