Supervisor Safety Lead experience Your role as a Supervisor Safety Lead will be based in Birmingham and will consist of:

• Work closely with supervisors, general foremen and works managers at the point of work
• Support and improve the quality of daily briefings, task briefings and POWRA
• Challenge unsafe behaviours and poor standards in a constructive and professional manner
• Support stop work decisions where controls are not in place or conditions have changed
• Ensure teams fully understand the task, control measures, permits and emergency arrangements
• Identify interface risks between trades, plant, lifting operations and access routes
• Coach supervisors and operatives on safe task set-up and delivery, not just report issues
• Escalate repeated poor practices, weak controls and unresolved actions
• Maintain clear, simple records of observations, interventions and follow-up actions

• Background in major infrastructure, heavy civils, tunnelling, structures or lifting operations (desirable)

• Confident using IT systems, reporting tools and Microsoft Office

• Visible and proactive
• Confident but not confrontational
• Practical and delivery-aware
• Clear and concise in reporting
• Comfortable challenging supervisors, managers and subcontractors
• Able to work at pace without losing attention to detail
• Focused on improving standards, not just recording non-compliance
