HSE and Compliance Officer

I am recruiting for an Interim HSE Compliance Officer to support a large public-sector organisation across a diverse estate portfolio throughout the Liverpool City Region.

This is a varied, hands-on position combining estate health & safety compliance, contractor management and construction/CDM activity across multiple operational sites.

You will work closely with estates, property, engineering and operational teams to ensure health & safety standards are maintained, statutory compliance requirements are met and contractors are operating safely across the portfolio.

Key Responsibilities

Support the management of health & safety compliance across a multi-site estate. Monitor key areas of statutory and estate compliance, including asbestos, fire safety, Legionella and confined spaces. Undertake site inspections, plant inspections and general health & safety audits. Identify non-conformances and ensure appropriate remedial and improvement actions are progressed. Support accident, incident and near-miss investigations and recommend appropriate corrective actions. Monitor contractor health & safety performance and undertake contractor/site inspections. Review contractor documentation including RAMS, Safe Systems of Work (SSOW) and other relevant H&S information. Support construction, maintenance and refurbishment projects across the estate. Assist with duties and compliance requirements under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015. Support the preparation, review and management of pre-construction information. Work with internal stakeholders, contractors and project teams to ensure health & safety requirements are properly considered throughout project delivery. Provide practical health & safety advice to colleagues across estates, property and operational functions. Maintain appropriate compliance records and contribute towards ongoing H&S improvement activity.
