The Role - SHEQ Advisor (Part Time)

We are seeking a motivated and experienced SHEQ Advisor to join our team on a part-time basis (3 days per week).

You will be involved throughout the full project lifecycle—from panel manufacture and factory acceptance testing (FAT), through to installation, commissioning, and site support—ensuring consistent application of SHEQ principles in both controlled environments and live industrial settings.

This is a hands-on role, requiring a pragmatic, proactive approach and the ability to work alongside engineers to embed safe and compliant ways of working without impacting delivery.

• Promote right-first-time quality in panel build, testing, and delivery

• Support continuous improvement and project review processes

Environment

• Support environmental compliance across workshop and site activities

• Monitor waste, energy usage, and environmental KPIs

• Ensure correct handling and disposal of electrical and hazardous waste
