Location: South East England
Reporting to: HSQE Director

Morris & Spottiswood are one of the leading providers of fitout, refurbishment, M&E, facilities management and construction services in the UK. A family firm, with a proud track record of excellence, we aim high, act responsibly and value our staff and customers.

Are you a practical HSQE professional who enjoys working alongside operational teams and making a difference on site? We’re looking for an HSQE Business Partner to help embed Health, Safety, Quality and Environmental standards into everyday delivery across our operations in South East England.

Working closely with operational leaders and the wider HSQE team, you’ll provide clear, practical advice, maintain a visible site presence and support safe, compliant working practices. This is a hands-on business partnering role rather than a senior leadership or line management position. You may also take the HSQE lead for a specific business area or client relationship, with the scope agreed according to your location and competence.

· Partnering with site teams and operational managers to implement HSQE policies, standards and safe systems of work.

· Supporting risk assessments and method statements, carrying out inspections and audits, and escalating significant risks.

· Supporting incident and near-miss investigations, identifying root causes and tracking corrective and preventive actions through to completion.

· Monitoring HSQE performance, identifying trends and helping teams turn lessons learned into practical improvements.

· Working with Operations, HR, Commercial and Supply Chain colleagues to support contractor management, compliance and audit preparation.

· Championing positive HSQE behaviours, workforce engagement and continuous improvement.

· Experience in an operational HSQE, HSEQ or SHEQ role within a site-based or contract-driven environment.

· Practical knowledge of risk assessment, incident investigation, site assurance and HSQE management systems.

· The ability to build trusted relationships, influence constructively and give clear, solution-focused advice.

· A NEBOSH General Certificate or equivalent, such as SCQF Level 6 or RQF Level 3.

· Accident or incident investigation training, with proven competence in root cause analysis and corrective action management.

· Professional membership of IOSH, such as CertIOSH, or working towards this.

· A collaborative approach, with integrity, professionalism and accountability at the heart of how you work.

· Experience in a matrix or business partnering model, contractor or supply chain HSQE management, or supporting audits and assurance activities.

· Asbestos management training, such as BOHS P405 or equivalent. BOHS P402 and practical experience reviewing and interpreting asbestos surveys would be advantageous.

· An environmental qualification, such as an IEMA / ISEP Certificate or Diploma, or an internal auditor qualification covering ISO 9001, 14001 or 45001.

· Building Safety Act awareness, behavioural safety or human factors training.
