Health and Safety Jobs and HSE Recruitment
Health and safety jobs matter more on a construction site than almost anywhere else. One serious accident can stop a project, damage a reputation and change lives. Bernoullis recruits health and safety advisers, HSE managers and facilities managers for contractors, developers and estates teams, and checks every qualification before you meet anyone.
Why Use Bernoullis to Fill Health and Safety Jobs?
A good HSE adviser earns the respect of the site and changes behaviour. A poor one becomes a box-ticker that nobody listens to. We look for people with the right qualifications and the right personality to make safety part of how your sites work.
We Check Practical Site Experience
We find out what each candidate has actually done: the types of site, the number of projects covered, audits, investigations and training delivered. That tells you far more than a list of certificates.
NEBOSH, IOSH and References Checked
We confirm NEBOSH qualifications, IOSH membership grade, right to work and references from recent managers before you see a CV.
Health, Safety and Facilities Roles We Recruit
From site safety advisers to heads of HSE, we fill health, safety, environmental and facilities roles across construction and the built environment.

HSE Managers
Lead safety teams, set policy and report to directors.
Heads of HSE
Senior leaders who shape safety culture across a whole business.

Day-to-day management of offices, schools, hospitals and residential blocks.
The Qualifications We Check

- NEBOSH National Diploma for senior and manager roles.

Professional standing in health and safety.

Health and Safety Jobs UK: Why Good Advisers Are Hard to Find
Construction remains one of the higher-risk industries in the UK, and the Health and Safety Executive expects every project to plan, manage and monitor its work under CDM. More projects mean more demand for advisers who can support site teams in practice, not just on paper.
The CITB Construction Workforce Outlook 2026–2030 expects output to recover from 2027, with housing and infrastructure leading the way. That will push up demand for HSE jobs at every level, while experienced advisers are already busy.
We reach good advisers through our network and explain your culture honestly. For candidates, that means health and safety jobs where leaders listen and support you, and where your work makes a real difference.
Why contractors choose us
- Consultants who understand CDM and site safety
- NEBOSH and IOSH membership checked first
- Shortlists of two or three, not piles of CVs
- Permanent, contract and interim HSE staff
- Free consultation to understand your sites
- Fixed-fee and subscription pricing options
- One 60-day guarantee on every plan
Site safety
HSE advisers and managers for building, civils and demolition projects.
Temporary works & access
Advisers with strong knowledge of scaffolding, lifting and work at height.
Facilities & estates
Facilities managers and building managers for completed buildings and estates.
Permanent, Contract and Interim HSE Recruitment
Some businesses need a permanent safety lead, others need support for a project or a peak. We fill all three.
Permanent hires
HSE advisers, managers and facilities managers who will grow with your business, with two or three strong candidates per role.
Contract advisers
Day-rate advisers for project starts, audits and busy periods.
Interim leadership
Interim HSE managers to keep standards high while you recruit permanently.
How to Hire a Health and Safety Adviser: A Practical Guide
Start with the risk. A demolition contractor needs different experience from a fit-out firm or a facilities team. Write down your main activities, the number of sites and the support the adviser will have.
Next, decide which qualifications matter. Most site adviser roles need a NEBOSH certificate and IOSH membership, while senior roles often need a diploma and chartered status.
Then think about personality. The best advisers coach and influence rather than police. Ask candidates how they have changed behaviour on a difficult site.
Finally, be clear about travel. Many health and safety jobs cover several sites, so a realistic patch and a good car allowance help you attract the right people.
What we assess
- Types of site and number of projects covered
- NEBOSH qualifications and IOSH grade
- Audits, inspections and investigations led
- Training and toolbox talks delivered
- Knowledge of CDM and current legislation
- References from recent managers

Health and Safety Jobs: Your Questions Answered
What qualifications do I need for health and safety jobs in construction?
Most adviser roles ask for the NEBOSH National General Certificate or the NEBOSH Construction Certificate, plus IOSH membership. Senior and manager roles often ask for a NEBOSH Diploma or degree and chartered IOSH status (CMIOSH).
What does an HSE adviser do on a construction site?
They inspect sites, audit safe systems of work, investigate accidents and near misses, deliver toolbox talks and inductions, and help managers meet their duties under CDM and other health and safety law.
Do you have health and safety jobs near me?
We recruit across the UK. Send us your location and how far you will travel and we will share health and safety jobs near me that suit your qualifications, sector and seniority.
Are HSE jobs mostly site-based?
Many HSE jobs in construction cover several sites, so you will split your time between sites, the office and travel. Some senior roles are more strategic and work across a whole region or business.
What should I look for in an HSE job offer?
Look beyond salary. Check the number of sites you will cover, travel and car allowance, support for NEBOSH or CMIOSH, the size of the safety team and how seriously senior leaders take health and safety.
Do you recruit for facilities manager jobs?
Yes. We recruit facilities managers and building managers who look after compliance, maintenance contracts, health and safety and building services across offices, schools, hospitals and estates.
What is the difference between facilities management jobs and HSE jobs?
Facilities management jobs focus on running buildings once they are complete, including maintenance and compliance. HSE jobs focus on keeping people safe while work is carried out, on site or in operations.
Can you provide interim health and safety cover?
Yes. We supply interim and contract advisers for project starts, audits, peaks in workload and cover while you recruit permanently.
