Job Description

Job Title: Health, Safety and Environmental Manager
Location: South-East
Salary: Up to £74,000 per annum plus additional benefits
Organisation Type: House Builder/Developer
Contract Type: Permanent

About the Role:

We are seeking a proactive and experienced Health, Safety and Environmental Manager to join our team at a well-established housing association based in the South-East.

The business is a land-led housebuilder and developer with a vertically integrated model, with approximately 47% of operations are in-house, covering everything from land acquisition, planning, civil engineering, and timber frame manufacturing to drylining, joinery, and customer care. This integrated approach allows there to be an overall better control over quality, efficiency, and safety, which is different from other housebuilders.
We are looking someone ideally based somewhere in the South-East, as this is where projects are as it stands. It will be a visible leadership role with regular site presence, but you also offer hybrid working.

This is a critical second-in-command position, supporting the Group HSEQ Director. The right candidate will be someone with broad construction safety experience who can operate independently and have oversight over multiple branches of the business.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Oversight of H&S across multiple business units, including manufacturing sites
  • Supporting live construction projects from pre-construction through handover- working closely with contract managers and key stakeholders
  • Investigating incidents, conducting root cause analysis, and implementing corrective actions.
  • Assisting with SSIP, ISO, and client compliance requirements.
  • Managing advisors and ensuring consistent site safety practices (RAMS, daily activity briefings, toolbox talks, etc.).

Person Specification:

  • Seasoned HSE Manager with demonstrable experience in housebuilding or construction environments.
  • NEBOSH Construction preferred (General considered with relevant experience).
  • Strong understanding of CDM, principal contractor duties, and HSE regulations.
  • Comfortable leading investigations and guiding site teams on best practice.
  • Based in Kent or surrounding areas, ideally North/Central Kent (due to site locations and travel demands).
  • Previous exposure to modular/timber frame environments would be beneficial.
