HSE Advisor - Tier 1 Contractor - Large Educational Site

Do you have long-term work secured in Galway? Are you being supported and recognised for the work that you do?

You’re a capable and committed Health & Safety Officer with 2+ years' experience on large-scale construction projects, ideally where you've shouldered meaningful responsibility and driven a proactive safety culture.

Now you’re ready for a new challenge: a long-term role on a flagship educational development in Galway. This is one of the largest public sector construction projects in the region, involving a mix of new build and retrofit work. You’ll be embedded within a progressive Tier 1 contractor that’s driving delivery of this prestigious scheme, a company known for its strong safety systems, collaborative culture, and significant pipeline of work throughout the West of Ireland.


The Opportunity:

You'll join a high-performing safety team with clear support from senior management and strong systems already in place. You'll have scope to take ownership of on-site safety standards and contribute meaningfully to the overall success of the project.

This is not just a job, it’s a genuine long-term career opportunity with one of Ireland’s leading contractors.


What You’ll Need:

• 2–3+ years’ Health & Safety experience in the construction industry
  
  
• A relevant third-level qualification in Health & Safety or related field
  
  
• Membership of IOSH is a strong advantage
  
  
• Confident using safety systems, technology, and MS Office
  
  
• Able to work independently and as part of a structured team
  
  
• Experience running site inspections, risk assessments, method statements, and toolbox talks
  
  

The Role:

• Report to the Senior HSE Manager and site management team
  
  
• Monitor and promote a positive safety culture on-site
  
  
• Conduct site inspections, investigations, and audits
  
  
• Develop and update safety documentation
  
  
• Coordinate safety training for staff
  
  
• Support compliance across retrofit and new build elements
  
  

What You’ll Get in Return:

• Salary: €60,000
  
  
• Vehicle and fuel card
  
  
• Pension and other benefits
  
  
• Long-term project pipeline in the West
  
  
• A forward-thinking employer that invests in your development
