We are innovative! That's why we need people like you to help us. People who enjoy finding new ways to solve problems and get things done.
We have an exciting opportunity for a qualified Health & Safety Advisor to join our SSE Contract Team.
The Role

We'll be looking for practical H&S solutions and helpful advice delivered in a style that motivates your audience. We'll encourage you to create communications strategies that resonate and inspire from in-person conversation to video and podcasts.

Managing and executing site inspections
Advising on and setting Operational team safety objectives
Supporting and undertaking investigations into accidents and incidents
Contributing to new tenders and bids
Assessing external environments for safe working
Identifying any gaps in the H&S management system; recommending improvements
Developing and implementing new initiatives or sharing best practices with colleagues
Advising on and communicating new working practices in line with any new legislative requirements or best practice
Carrying out ABC tours (Attitude, Behavior and Culture)
Actively encouraging Safety Observations and Hazard Reporting
