The project will set a new benchmark for commercial development in the heart of the city, requiring a strong focus on safety leadership, stakeholder coordination, and adherence to the highest EHS standards.

As a Senior Health & Safety Advisor, you will play a key role in ensuring that all safety, health, and environmental standards are maintained and continuously improved throughout the project lifecycle.

• Collaborate closely with the wider project team to integrate EHS principles into daily operations and project planning.
• Provide guidance, training, and mentorship to site staff and subcontractors to ensure full compliance with statutory and company requirements.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives in safety performance, reporting, and innovation.

• Minimum of 5 years’ experience in health and safety roles, ideally within the construction industry.
• Strong knowledge of Irish construction regulations, codes of practice, and industry best standards.
• Proven ability to prioritise workload, manage competing demands, and influence diverse teams.
• Excellent IT and reporting skills, including proficiency in Microsoft Office and digital safety management systems.
• A collaborative and proactive mindset with excellent communication and leadership skills.
