Are you available for your next interim H&S role? This is an ideal assignment for a Health and Safety specialist who has worked as part of a project team where capital expenditure (CapEx) projects are running on-site alongside a fast-paced, day-to-day operation.

• Helping teams stay aligned with best safety practices during project work.
• Taking a hands-on approach and being actively involved on-site.
• Consistently promoting a positive, ‘safety-first’ culture in all communications and site activities.
• Managing change effectively during project implementations and reacting to unexpected issues swiftly and professionally.

What we’re looking for:

• A strong H&S professional with experience in FMCG environments—ideally from the food industry, FMCG manufacturing, logistics, or construction.
• A solid understanding of CDM regulations and their application to CapEx builds or upgrades.
• Experience working on factory builds, installations, or refurbishments while normal site operations continue.
• Confidence in working with multiple teams and contractors to keep the project on schedule.
