A little more about your role…

We are seeking a Design Safety Compliance Co-ordinator to join our growing team, supporting the safe and successful delivery of major power, electricity transmission and distribution, low-carbon, renewable energy, and wider energy infrastructure projects across the UK.

This role offers an excellent opportunity for an organised and proactive individual to develop expertise in design safety, risk management, and regulatory compliance while contributing to nationally significant energy and infrastructure projects.

Key Responsibilities

• Liaise with project managers, designers, engineers, contractors, and clients to ensure safety considerations are embedded within project delivery.
• Prepare reports, meeting minutes, action trackers, and compliance documentation.
• Promote continual improvement and sharing of best practice in design safety and compliance.

What we will be looking for you to demonstrate...

• Experience in a project co-ordination, design safety, compliance, health and safety, or engineering support role.
• Understanding of CDM 2015 principles and their application within infrastructure or construction projects.
• Strong organisational and document management skills.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement abilities.
• Ability to manage multiple tasks and priorities within a fast-paced project environment.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office applications and project management systems.

Desirable Requirements

• Experience within the energy, utilities, power transmission and distribution, renewable energy, or infrastructure sectors.
• Knowledge of design risk management and Safety in Design processes.
• NEBOSH Construction Certificate, IOSH Managing Safely, or equivalent qualification.
• Membership of, or working towards membership of, IOSH, APS, IIRSM, or a relevant professional body.
• Experience supporting CDM compliance activities on major projects.

What You'll Bring

You will be a collaborative and detail-oriented individual with a passion for improving safety outcomes through effective co-ordination and communication. You will enjoy working with multidisciplinary teams and helping ensure that health, safety, and compliance requirements are effectively embedded into project delivery from concept through to completion.

This is an exciting opportunity to support the delivery of critical UK energy infrastructure projects while developing your career in design safety, CDM compliance, and risk management.
