7.30am – 5.30pm
Parking provided:

The Opportunity
A Tier 1 main contractor delivering a high-profile hotel development in Dublin 8 is seeking an experienced
Health & Safety Officer
.
This is not a "tick-the-box" position — the successful candidate will be
embedded on site
, visible, proactive, and hands-on in all aspects of safety management.
This project involves a
constrained, city-centre site
, so experience working in similar urban environments and with Tier 1 contractors is essential.
Key Requirements
Proven Tier 1 contractor experience
on major construction projects (hotel, commercial, large residential, or similar).
Experience working on tight, congested city-centre sites
, ideally in Dublin.
Strong understanding of Irish construction regulations, PSDP/PSCS obligations, and industry best practice.
Ability to
drive safety culture
on site, not just audit paperwork.
Confident communicator who can work closely with site management, subcontractors, and the client team.
Ability to anticipate risks, proactively address hazards, and ensure works proceed safely in a fast-moving environment.
What This Role Looks Like Day-to-Day
Being
on the ground
, engaging with foremen, subcontractors, and crews.
Carrying out
dynamic risk assessments
, not just scheduled audits.
Supporting lift plans, hot works, traffic management, deliveries, and high-risk activities.
Ensuring full compliance with the Safety Management System while
adding practical site-based guidance
.
Championing a positive safety culture through toolbox talks, briefings, and coaching.
Managing incident investigations, CAPAs, and reporting.
Candidate Profile
You're looking for someone who is:
Hands-on, visible, and practical
— someone who doesn't sit in the office all day.
Confident in making decisions and challenging unsafe behaviours.
Comfortable working within the structure and expectations of a Tier 1 contractor.
Energetic, proactive, and able to stay ahead of the programme on a tight site.
