Health & Safety Advisor
Posted on Jun 17, 2026 by CV-Library
Dennistoun, City of Glasgow, United Kingdom

Immediate Start
£45k - £55k Annual
Full-Time
A leading privately-owned Scottish construction business — with a long-term reputation for culture/retention and with a strong pipeline of civil engineering and energy sector work across the central belt — is looking for an experienced HSE Advisor to join their team.
They take safety seriously without making it a box-ticking exercise. This is a company with real structure, genuine values, and enough work on to keep you busy.
What the job actually looks like
You won't be desk-bound. Around 70% of your time will be out on site across the central belt, with the remainder split between Central Scotland offices. You'll be embedded in live civil engineering projects — from traditional civil engineering infrastructure, to energy (transmission, substations and battery storage schemes etc) — advising site management, running the work process from handover to start-up, and being the person on the ground who keeps things running safely and compliantly.
This isn't a reactive role. You'll be writing and reviewing RAMS, managing COSHH, HAV, noise and lifting studies, conducting pre-start site visits, and leading toolbox talks with the teams on the ground. You'll also be the link between the project management teams and the client — so strong communication matters as much as technical knowledge.
Who they're looking for
Several years' experience working as an H&S Advisor on engineering or construction projects is the benchmark. Ideally you'll have energy sector exposure — Scottish Power, SSEN, utilities, or a similar high-hazard environment that background translates well here.
You'll need a NEBOSH National General or Construction Certificate as a minimum, and IOSH membership (CertIOSH or GradIOSH level) is expected. A full UK driving licence is essential — you'll be using it regularly.
Beyond the credentials, they want someone who can hold their own on site, build trust with project teams and clients, and genuinely move the safety culture forward rather than just police it.
Why consider this one?
The business is busy, stable, and growing. The work is technically interesting, and you'd be joining an HSEQ team with proper structure — reporting to a Senior Advisor/Manager, with real support around you. If you're the type who wants to own your patch and be trusted to get on with it, this is a good fit.
