About the role

We are seeking an experienced Health & Safety Advisor to join our Construction & Enablement (C& E ) Team. You'll work closely with internal stakeholders and construction partners to drive continuous improvement in health and safety performance and foster a positive safety culture across our Capital Investment Programme and operational activities. This is a hybrid role, predominantly site-based, with flexibility for home or hub working as required.

Responsibilities

• This is an exciting opportunity to join an established H&S Team working across Scottish Water's Capital Investment Programme.
• You'll provide practical, risk-based health and safety advice and guidance across Scottish Water's Capital Investment Programme, ensuring compliance with current legislation, industry standards and best practice.
• Working across a diverse portfolio of construction projects, ranging in size, duration and complexity, you'll undertake client assurance activities and work closely with contractors, project teams and internal stakeholders to support the successful delivery of projects.
• You'll also contribute to continuous improvement initiatives, working collaboratively with colleagues and partners to raise standards across the programme, while providing specialist input into HAZOPs, HAZCONs and other process safety assessments where required.

Requirements

• You'll be analytical, capable of making informed decisions, and committed to continuous professional development while developing a strong understanding of Scottish Water's processes and ways of working.
• Higher-level health and safety qualifications, such as a Diploma-level award, would be advantageous, as would knowledge of the legislative and regulatory environment in which Scottish Water operates.
• Additional qualifications or experience in root cause analysis, IOSH membership, medium-risk confined spaces, process safety or ISO 45001 auditing would also be beneficial.
• Looking out for you
• While the work we do is important, we know it's not the only thing that matters. That's why we make sure you have everything you need to find a good work-life balance.
• But you'll get plenty of time to recharge with 38 days of holiday every year (including public holidays). And you can even buy five more if you need a little extra time. You can also take paid time off to volunteer in your community.
• When it comes to major life events we have family-friendly policies around adoption, maternity, and parental leave. And for the everyday? We embrace flexible working.
• For your future, there's our pension (the 'know-what-you'll-get-when-you-retire' kind), as well as life assurance.
• As for some nice extras? You will participate in a company bonus scheme. Not to mention access to SW Splash - handy rewards that can save you money on holidays, bills, and shopping.
• The not-so-small print
• This role will be a Grade
