EHS International is placing an experienced Safety Advisor with an established Irish construction contractor on an ongoing project basis. This is a full-time, site-based role for a specialist who knows the construction environment — not a generalist looking for a first construction posting.
An active construction project requires a dedicated, competent Safety Advisor to manage all on-site health and safety activity. The client is an established Irish contractor with a track record of ongoing project delivery. You will be the single point of EHS accountability on site, working closely with site management and the principal contractor hierarchy.
This is a contractor placement role, arranged through EHS International. The engagement is ongoing — not a short-term cover position.
