Health & Safety Advisor

Greys Specialist Recruitment is supporting an established multidisciplinary construction consultancy in appointing a Construction Health & Safety Advisor. The consultancy provides construction H&S, CDM, Principal Designer, surveying, quality-control and technical advisory services. This client-facing role combines construction H&S advice, site inspections and CDM support. You will manage client appointments and advise clients, designers, Principal Designers and Principal Contractors. The vacancy has a stronger CDM focus than a general site-safety role. Applied knowledge of CDM 2015 is essential. CDM Advisor or Principal Designer support experience is particularly valuable, although construction H&S professionals who regularly advise project teams under CDM may also be considered. Key responsibilities Act as a principal H&S/CDM contact, coordinating appointments within agreed programmes, scopes and budgets. Advise clients and project teams on CDM 2015, dutyholder responsibilities and suitable H&S arrangements throughout the project lifecycle. Review project arrangements, construction information and dutyholder compliance, coordinating H&S information between clients, designers, project managers and contractors. Review Construction Phase Plans, RAMS and contractor documentation, ensuring they address actual project risks, methods and site arrangements rather than merely providing paperwork. Conduct inspections, identify unsafe conditions or arrangements and recommend proportionate action. Escalate high-risk matters before leaving site and issue reports within 24 hours. Advise on UK H&S legislation; undertake audits; monitor actions; support ISO 45001-aligned systems; prepare policies and risk assessments; chair meetings; deliver training; and maintain complete records. Manage deadlines and commercial performance, including invoicing targets, fee proposals, out-of-scope work, purchase orders and outstanding-payment information. Attend team m
