Are you an experienced Health and Safety professional who enjoys being hands-on, building relationships and turning best practice into meaningful improvements?

Consortium Professional Recruitment are pleased to be partnering with an established international organisation to recruit an HSEQ Specialist. Operating across multiple locations, our client is looking for a confident, approachable professional who can strengthen safety standards, improve consistency and support operational teams in creating safer working environments.
The Opportunity:
As an HSEQ Specialist, you''ll play a key role in:
- Driving safety improvements: Working closely with operational managers and site teams to identify risks, promote safe working practices and embed a positive, proactive safety culture.

- Supporting compliance and assurance: Conducting site inspections, contributing to internal and external audits, investigating incidents and near misses, and ensuring corrective actions deliver lasting improvements.
- Engaging and influencing teams: Building trusted relationships with colleagues across multiple sites, providing practical guidance, supporting training and helping managers translate legislation into everyday working practices.

- Strong communication and relationship-building skills, with the ability to explain technical requirements clearly and engage people at all levels.
Above all, we''re looking for someone who is approachable, enthusiastic and genuinely passionate about making workplaces safer. You don''t need to have worked internationally before, but you should enjoy working with people, building trust and making improvements that have a lasting impact.
