Health & Safety / CDM Advisor

Principal People are working with a well-established and growing Health & Safety consultancy to recruit a Health & Safety / CDM Advisor to support a diverse portfolio of clients and projects across the North West.

This is a varied position combining practical Health & Safety consultancy with Principal Designer responsibilities under CDM 2015. You’ll work across healthcare, housebuilding and industrial environments, giving you exposure to different projects, clients and stages of the construction process.
