Fixed Term Contract will be considered

Are you an experienced HSE Engineer, Health and Safety Engineer or Construction HSE professional with a background in industrial construction projects?

This is a high-impact opportunity to join a globally recognised engineering business delivering major projects across the oil and gas, petrochemical, power and heavy industrial sectors throughout EMEA.

This is not a generalist office-based HSE role.

To be considered, you must have clear, hands-on construction HSE experience within live industrial or engineering project environments. Candidates from purely corporate, manufacturing-only or non-construction HSE backgrounds are unlikely to be suitable.

Working as part of the Global Field Services team, you will play a key role in developing, implementing and driving health, safety and environmental standards across a wide range of site-based engineering and construction activities.

Why Apply?

  • Join a

    global engineering business

    with an outstanding reputation

  • Work on

    complex industrial construction and field service projects

  • Highly visible role with real influence across

    HSE systems, compliance and culture

  • Hybrid role combining

    office, site and international travel

  • Be part of a business where

    safety is taken seriously and lived day to day

  • Excellent long-term career potential within a growing international operation

The Role

As HSE Engineer – EMEA, you will be responsible for supporting the development, implementation and management of health, safety and environmental policies, procedures and systems across the Global Field Services function.

You will work closely with project managers, construction managers, engineers and field teams to identify risk, improve compliance, support mobilisation and strengthen HSE performance across projects in the EMEA region.

This is a role for someone who is confident both on construction sites and in the office, and who is comfortable operating in fast-paced industrial project environments where standards, preparation and attention to detail really matter.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop, implement and maintain

    HSE policies, procedures and management systems

  • Support

    construction projects, field service teams and site activities

    across EMEA

  • Carry out

    risk assessments, safety audits, site inspections and compliance reviews

  • Investigate

    accidents, incidents, near misses and non-conformances

  • Drive

    corrective actions, CAPA processes and continuous improvement

  • Deliver and coordinate

    HSE training, toolbox talks and awareness programmes

  • Maintain standard

    documentation packs, templates, HSE records and process maps

  • Track engineer

    qualifications, certifications and safety documentation

  • Support

    pre-mobilisation checks, contractor vetting and subcontractor compliance

  • Ensure calibration and certification of critical equipment and safety devices

  • Monitor

    HSE KPIs, audit findings and incident trends

  • Work closely with the wider

    QHSE and operations teams

    to maintain standards

What We’re Looking For

To be successful in this role, you will need:

  • Proven experience as an

    HSE Engineer, Health and Safety Engineer, HSE Advisor, Senior HSE Advisor, EHS Engineer or QHSE professional

  • Strong

    construction HSE experience

    within

    industrial project environments

  • Background in

    oil and gas, petrochemical, power generation, EPC, shutdowns, turnarounds, mechanical installation, industrial services or heavy engineering

  • Experience carrying out:

    • Risk assessments

    • HSE audits

    • Site inspections

    • Incident investigations

    • Root cause analysis

    • Corrective and preventive actions

  • Strong knowledge of

    health and safety regulations, standards and best practice

  • Ability to work across

    multiple projects and priorities simultaneously

  • Strong communication and organisational skills

  • Hands-on, practical approach with the confidence to

    lead from the front

Qualifications and Certifications

  • NEBOSH

    or equivalent health and safety qualification is highly desirable

  • Knowledge of

    ISO 45001, ISO 14001 and ISO 9001

    would be highly beneficial

  • Degree in

    Occupational Health and Safety, Environmental Science, Quality Management

    or similar would be advantageous

Location and Travel

  • Based within commuting distance of

    Stamford / The Woolfox Depot, Stretton, LE15 7QT

  • Hybrid split between

    office and site

  • Around

    50/50 office and site-based working

  • International travel across EMEA required

  • Flexibility needed for changing project demands, including occasional evenings and weekends

Why This Role Stands Out

This is a great opportunity for an experienced construction HSE professional who wants more than a paperwork-driven role.

You’ll be working in real project environments, supporting live engineering and construction delivery, influencing teams on-site and helping shape standards across a global field service operation.

If you have the right mix of industrial construction HSE experience, site credibility and practical safety leadership, this is a role where your background will be valued.
