We are looking to support an engineering consultancy seeking an HSE Manager – for a site-based requirement at one of their own client’s sites located in the Glasgow / North Lanarkshire region. This will be a contract role expected to run for around 9 months starting as soon as possible. The role has been determined outside IR35 so Limited Company contractors can operate. CIS scheme should also be fine if requested, and the hourly rate of pay is anticipated to be £45 per hour. No additional travel or accommodation assistance will be provided and this is a full-time Monday to Friday role with the possibility of some occasional weekend work – but not guaranteed or regular.
This is very much a boots-on-the-ground role as opposed to operational or strategic. Candidates will be performing toolbox talks, accident reporting, monitoring subcontractors on site and promoting best safety practices on a construction site for the build of some new silos. A civil background would be highly preferred and the candidates will also be performing RAMS assessments and supporting the site based construction manager.
A further description is given below – for more information and to apply please contact me with a copy of your latest CV, qualifications and CSCS card, and details on your current situation and availability.
