The Company

Our client is one of Ireland’s leading main contractors with a long-standing reputation for delivering complex, high-value projects across commercial, residential, life sciences, industrial, and fit-out sectors.

They are widely recognised for their zero-tolerance approach to Health & Safety, continuous investment in systems and training, and a collaborative site culture where safety performance is viewed as critical to project success.

With a strong pipeline secured well into 2025, they are now expanding their HSQE team and seeking an experienced Health & Safety Advisor to support live projects across Dublin and Leinster.


The Role – Health & Safety Advisor

As Health & Safety Advisor, you will provide active site-based support to project teams, ensuring full compliance with legislation and internal safety standards. You’ll play a central role in driving the company’s Safety Management System and promoting a proactive culture aligned with best practice and continuous improvement.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Support project teams in implementing the Group Safety Management System on site.

  • Assist in appointing competent safety personnel and identify training needs across teams.

  • Ensure risk assessment processes are established, communicated, and monitored effectively.

  • Monitor and review safety procedures for lifting operations, temporary works, inductions, permits, fire safety, and emergency response.

  • Participate in setting up and maintaining safety committees.

  • Ensure risks to third parties and other contractors are identified and controlled.

  • Contribute to ongoing improvements and development of group-wide safety systems.

  • Maintain current knowledge of H&S legislation and liaise with relevant bodies and associations.

  • Support incident and accident investigations, ensuring root causes are identified and corrective actions implemented.

  • Provide clear reporting on H&S performance, KPIs, and compliance to management.

  • Build strong working relationships with Directors, Project Managers, and site teams to drive safety outcomes.


About You
  • Degree or diploma in Occupational Health & Safety (or related discipline).

  • Minimum 4 years’ experience in a Health & Safety role within construction.

  • Strong knowledge of Irish H&S legislation and site safety best practice.

  • Confident communicator with the ability to influence teams at all levels.

  • Highly organised, detail focused, and proactive in problem-solving.

  • Ability to work independently while supporting a wider HSQE team.


What’s on Offer
  • Salary: €70,000 (DOE)

  • Package Includes:

    • Vehicle or Travel Allowance

    • Pension Scheme

    • Healthcare / Wellbeing Supports

    • Paid CPD and safety training

    • Long-term work across Dublin & Leinster projects

    • Progression opportunities within a leading contractor


    Why Apply?

    This is an excellent opportunity to join a contractor that genuinely prioritises Health & Safety and has a structured, well-resourced safety function. You’ll work on major projects with strong leadership support, clear standards, and real long-term progression.

    If you’re an ambitious H&S professional ready to step into a role with scale and security, this is a strong next move.
