SHEQ Co-ordinator

Department: SHEQ
Reports to: SHEQ Lead
Employment Type: Full-time

Role Purpose

The SHEQ Co-ordinator will support the day-to-day management of Health & Safety across the business, working closely with the SHEQ Lead and operational teams to help maintain a safe and compliant working environment.

This is a development role, and we are looking for someone with the right attitude, communication skills and willingness to learn, as full support and on-the-job training will be provided.

The role is an opportunity to develop Health & Safety knowledge and qualifications as the individual progresses within the role.

Health & Safety will be the main focus of the position, but the successful candidate will also support the Quality Team when required.

Key Responsibilities

Health & Safety

The SHEQ Co-ordinator will:

• Carry out regular Health & Safety inspections across operational and workplace areas.
• Identify and report potential hazards, unsafe conditions and unsafe working practices.
• Work with managers and supervisors to ensure Health & Safety actions are completed.
• Assist with the preparation and review of risk assessments, method statements and safe systems of work.
• Help maintain Health & Safety policies, procedures, registers and records.
• Assist with accident, incident and near-miss investigations.
• Maintain accident, incident and near-miss records and track resulting actions.
• Help coordinate and deliver Health & Safety inductions, toolbox talks and awareness activities.
• Support the management of COSHH assessments and records.
• Assist with workplace risk assessments covering areas such as manual handling, work equipment and working at height.
• Help monitor PPE requirements and safe working practices.
• Assist with contractor and subcontractor Health & Safety requirements.
• Support fire safety and emergency arrangements, including inspections and drills.
• Help maintain training records and monitor Health & Safety training requirements.
• Assist with internal and external Health & Safety audits.
• Help prepare Health & Safety statistics, KPIs and reports.
• Develop an understanding of relevant Health & Safety legislation and HSE guidance.
• Build positive relationships with employees and encourage engagement with Health & Safety across the business.
• Develop the confidence and knowledge to provide practical Health & Safety support to employees and managers.

Quality Support

Health & Safety will remain the primary focus of the position; however, the role will also provide support to the Quality function when required. This may include:

• Assisting with quality inspections and audits.
• Helping maintain Quality Management System documentation and records.
• Recording quality issues and non-conformances.
• Tracking corrective actions.
• Assisting with root cause investigations.
• Supporting continuous improvement activities.
• Assisting with preparation for internal and external quality audits.
• Providing general support to the Quality function as required.

What We’re Looking For

Previous Health & Safety experience is not essential. We are looking for someone who can develop into the role and build their Health & Safety knowledge through training and practical experience.

The successful candidate should have:

• A genuine interest in developing a career within Health & Safety.
• A willingness to learn and undertake relevant training and qualifications.
• Good communication and people skills.
• The confidence to speak to employees, supervisors and managers.
• A practical and sensible approach to problem solving.
• Good organisational skills and attention to detail.
• The ability to follow tasks and actions through to completion.
• Good written communication and record-keeping skills.
• Basic competence with Microsoft Office, including Word, Excel and Outlook.
• A proactive attitude and willingness to get involved across different areas of the business.
• The confidence to spend time within operational areas and engage with employees on the shop floor and on site.

Desirable – But Not Essential

The following would be advantageous but are not required, as training can be provided:

• Previous exposure to Health & Safety within a workplace environment.
• Experience within construction, manufacturing, modular buildings or a similar industry.
• IOSH Working Safely, IOSH Managing Safely or similar training.
• Awareness of risk assessments and COSHH.
• Knowledge of ISO 45001 or ISO 9001.
• Previous experience assisting with audits or compliance activities.

Training & Development

The company will support the successful candidate in developing the knowledge and competence required for the role.

This may include:

• On-the-job Health & Safety training and mentoring.
• IOSH training.
• Development towards a NEBOSH qualification as appropriate.
• Accident and incident investigation training.
• Risk assessment and COSHH training.
• Internal auditor training.
• Familiarisation with ISO 45001 and ISO 9001 management systems.
• Ongoing development as the individual’s responsibilities and experience increase.

The intention is for the successful candidate to develop within the SHEQ function and take on greater Health & Safety responsibility as their knowledge, experience and competence grow.

Personal Attributes

We are particularly interested in someone who is:

• Keen to learn and develop.
• Proactive and enthusiastic.
• Approachable and comfortable speaking with people at all levels.
• Confident enough to ask questions and raise concerns.
• Practical rather than overly administrative in their approach.
• Organised and reliable.
• Observant with good attention to detail.
• Comfortable working both in an office and within operational environments.
• Able to take constructive feedback and apply what they have learned.
• Interested in building a long-term career within Health & Safety.

General

Health & Safety will be the primary focus of this role, with Quality support forming a secondary part of the position when required.

This role is intended to provide a development pathway for an individual who demonstrates the right attitude and potential. Previous extensive SHEQ experience or formal Health & Safety qualifications are therefore not a requirement.
