SHEQ Advisor

SHEQ Advisor

Aylesford, Kent £40,000-£45,000 DOE + bens

Are you an experienced SHEQ professional who enjoys being out on site, driving standards and making a real impact rather than sitting behind a desk all day?

We're recruiting on behalf of a well-established engineering services business looking for a confident SHEQ Advisor to take ownership of health, safety, environmental and quality compliance across multiple operational sites.

This isn't a role where you'll be starting from scratch. Strong systems, accreditations and procedures are already established - your focus will be on maintaining high standards, carrying out audits, supporting operational teams and continually improving compliance across the business.

You'll work closely with engineers, managers and operational teams, so we're looking for someone who can build relationships, challenge where necessary and confidently influence people at all levels.

The Role

Reporting into senior management, you'll take responsibility for maintaining the company's SHEQ systems and ensuring continued compliance across both office and operational environments.

Responsibilities will include:

\n
• Conducting regular site audits and inspections
\n
• Managing and maintaining ISO accreditations and compliance standards
\n
• Supporting investigations, corrective actions and continuous improvement initiatives
\n
• Reviewing risk assessments and safe systems of work
\n
• Providing practical SHEQ advice to operational teams and managers
\n
• Monitoring legislation and ensuring business compliance
\n
• Supporting internal and external audits
\n
• Maintaining SHEQ documentation, records and reporting
\n
• Promoting a positive safety culture across the organisation
\n
• Occasional travel to regional depots and customer sites
\n

About You

We're interested in personality just as much as experience.

You'll be someone who enjoys being visible within a business, can confidently engage with engineering teams and isn't afraid to challenge when required.

You'll ideally have:

\n
• NEBOSH General Certificate (essential)
\n
• Experience within a SHEQ, HSE or Compliance role
\n
• Strong auditing experience, ideally involving ISO and/or 45001
\n
• Experience managing or supporting accreditations and compliance systems
\n
• Experience producing or reviewing RAMS
\n
• Excellent communication and influencing skills
\n
• A full UK driving licence
\n
• Experience within engineering, manufacturing, utilities, facilities management or another fast-paced operational environment
\n
• IOSH membership would be advantageous but isn't essential.
\n

What's on Offer?

\n
• Salary up to £45,000 depending on experience
\n
• Car allowance
\n
• Structured training and professional development
\n
• Genuine investment in qualifications and career progression
\n
• Company pension
\n
• Additional annual leave
\n
• Employee discounts
\n
• Company events
\n
• Long-term career with an established and growing organisation
\n

If you're looking for a varied SHEQ role where you can genuinely influence standards, work with operational teams and continue developing your career, we'd love to hear from you.
