Safety Officer

We're currently supporting a Cork-based contractor in the appointment of a Safety Officer (Generalist). This role reflects what we're seeing more of across industry.

Organisations don't just need safety professionals for one environment. They need people who can operate across construction and non construction activities, and understand how risk presents differently in each. This is a hands on, site-focused role, working closely with operational teams to ensure safety is not just documented, but applied in practice.

Key responsibilities:

• Supporting day to day health and safety across a mix of activities and sites
• Conducting inspections, audits and risk assessments
• Ensuring alignment with Irish health and safety legislation and site requirements
• Working directly with teams to embed safe systems of work
• Supporting incident investigations and ongoing improvement initiatives

What we're looking for:

• Experience in a Safety Officer or similar HSE role
• Strong exposure to construction, with the ability to operate across broader environments
• Confidence engaging with teams on site and influencing behaviour
• A practical, grounded approach to safety
• Relevant health and safety qualifications

This is a well rounded generalist role with real visibility across operations.
