Utilities & Infrastructure Sector
Buckinghamshire / Thames Valley Region
Multi-Site Role
Search² is supporting a growing utilities contractor in the appointment of a SHEQ Manager to help shape the next phase of the company's development.
Operating across essential infrastructure projects, this established business has built an excellent reputation for delivering critical utility works across long-term frameworks and continues to experience sustained growth.
As the business expands, they are now seeking their first dedicated SHEQ Manager to take ownership of Safety, Health, Environment and Quality across the organisation.
This is an opportunity to join a business where your influence will be felt immediately, working directly with senior leadership to develop systems, improve standards and support future growth.
Why This Opportunity?
Many SHEQ positions involve maintaining existing systems.
This role is different.
You'll be joining a business that genuinely wants somebody to challenge the status quo, improve consistency and help create the SHEQ function that the business will build around in the future.
Reporting directly into senior leadership, you'll have the autonomy to make decisions, influence operational teams and play a key role in shaping how SHEQ is delivered across the organisation.
Longer-term, there is the potential to build and develop a SHEQ team beneath you as the business continues to grow.
The business has grown significantly over recent years and is looking for somebody who wants to grow alongside it.
What You Will Be Doing
Leading the company's SHEQ strategy across operational activities
Managing and improving SHEQ management systems
Conducting audits, inspections and compliance reviews
Supporting operational teams across multiple project locations
Managing supply chain and subcontractor compliance
Producing client-facing SHEQ reports where required
Driving accountability and continuous improvement across the business
Supporting investigations and implementing corrective actions
Ensuring compliance with relevant legislation and industry standards
Working closely with directors and operational management to support business growth The role combines strategic responsibility with operational visibility and would suit somebody who enjoys being present within the business rather than operating purely from behind a desk.
What You Will Need
NEBOSH General Certificate as a minimum
Experience within utilities, gas, infrastructure, civil engineering or related sectors
Strong auditing and inspection experience
Understanding of CDM Regulations and operational compliance requirements
Experience managing systems, standards and continuous improvement initiatives
Ability to engage confidently with operational teams and senior stakeholders
A practical and pragmatic approach to health, safety, environment and quality The Person
Technical competence is important, but cultural fit will be equally critical.
The business is looking for somebody who can:
Build relationships quickly
Influence rather than police
Challenge constructively
Hold people accountable
Understand operational realities
Drive standards without creating unnecessary bureaucracy This is a visible leadership role requiring somebody who can coach, support and positively influence behaviours throughout the organisation.
The successful candidate will understand that effective SHEQ management is not about creating barriers to operational delivery. It is about ensuring people go home safely whilst supporting the commercial success of the business.
Why Join?
First dedicated SHEQ Manager appointment within the business
Genuine opportunity to shape the SHEQ function
Direct access to owners and senior decision-makers
Growing utilities contractor with ambitious plans
Opportunity to build a team in the future
Family-oriented culture with a collaborative approach
Ability to make a visible impact across the organisation
Long-term career development opportunities Package
£55,000 to £65,000 basic salary
Mileage paid at 45p per mile
Potential vehicle provision depending on circumstances
21 days annual leave plus bank holidays
Additional Christmas shutdown
Flexible working approach
Statutory pension scheme
Genuine autonomy and influence
Direct access to decision makers
Long-term progression opportunities If you're looking for an opportunity where you can make a genuine impact rather than simply maintain compliance, we'd welcome a confidential discussion.
