HSW Advisor- M&T

Specialized in civil engineering and engineering structures, Bouygues Travaux Publics is one of the world leaders in the fields of land use planning and sustainable infrastructure construction. Bouygues Travaux Publics is committed to diversity and is open to all talents.

We are recruiting for an HSW Advisor to join us at Avonmouth, supporting the CWA (Civil Works Alliance) as we continue to deliver the major infrastructure needed for Sizewell C. This project will create a 3.2GW low-carbon power station supplying clean, reliable electricity to around six million homes — playing a vital role in securing the UK’s long-term energy future for at least the next 60 years. As part of this programme, we are looking for a safety professional who is passionate about driving standards, influencing culture and making a meaningful impact on the wellbeing of everyone on site

You will provide hands-on HS&E guidance from early design through to on-site implementation. Support governance, compliance and legal obligations across our works, ensuring that safety, quality and environmental protection remain fundamental to how we deliver. A typical day would see you undertaking site inspections, carrying out pre-work evaluations, preparing detailed reports, reviewing documentation, and helping project teams embed best practice in line with our Business Management System and ISO 14001 commitments.

Key responsibilities

• Conducting planned and pre-work inspections to identify and address risks early
• Supporting investigations, reviewing unplanned events and identifying trends
• Preparing clear written reports following site visits, audits and inspections
• Ensuring compliance with emergency planning and wider governance processes
• Monitoring new legislation and assessing its impact on the project
• Delivering training across Setting to Work, Fact Finders, OH, PVM and BMS Familiarisation
• Helping drive our behavioural programme (Make Safety Personal) and Zero Harm culture
• Sharing learning across projects, delivering cascades and promoting Close Call reporting
• Supporting risk assessments, Q/A themed audits, machinery reviews and site inductions
• Coaching and mentoring teams to strengthen our safety leadership and competence

To be successful here, you’ll bring strong influencing skills and the ability to promote a positive, collaborative safety culture. You’ll be experienced in incident investigation, confident working within the UK regulatory framework and familiar with the demands of complex civils and construction environments. You’ll also be able to communicate with clarity at all levels, prepare high-quality reports and support teams through planning, risk control and continuous improvement. A NEBOSH National Diploma (or equivalent Level 6 qualification) is essential, alongside CSCS competence. Experience with heavy civils activities — such as lifting operations, excavations, temporary works or working at height — will be highly valuable.

This is a chance to join a landmark national project and help create a safe, responsible and high-performing environment for thousands of people contributing to a cleaner energy future.
