Summary
About The Role
Right across infrastructure, there’s a requirement to not only maintain, but also renew and reimagine. Whatever stage you’re at in your career, with us you’ll have an opportunity to grow and develop.

What will you be doing?
As our SHEQ Advisor, you'll play a vital role in supporting multiple Thames Water Retail contracts from our Dartford base. Working closely with operational teams, you’ll help ensure works are delivered safely, compliantly, and to high environmental and quality standards, promoting a strong and proactive safety culture.
This is a predominantly field-based role, with around 75% of your time spent on-site providing direct operational support. The remaining 25% will involve administrative tasks such as preparing reports, reviewing documentation, and coordinating with the wider team—completed either in the office or remotely with prior approval.
Key duties include carrying out regular site inspections, submitting timely inspection reports, and reviewing and approving RAMS to ensure compliance with M Group Water standards. You’ll provide practical guidance to supervisors and operatives, helping drive continuous safety improvements.
You’ll lead incident and accident investigations, identifying root causes and producing detailed reports with preventative recommendations. You’ll also manage monthly KPI reporting, analyse trends, maintain accurate SHEQ records, and support the SHEQ Manager with compliance activities.
Additionally, you’ll deliver project inductions, support SHEQ communications, lead accident‑prevention initiatives, facilitate drug and alcohol testing, engage with the HSE, assist with external audits, and actively encourage near‑miss reporting and quality assurance across all teams.
What you’ll bring
- Do you have a NEBOSH General or Construction Certificate?
- Do you hold valid certifications, such as Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) Card, EUSR SHEA Gas/Power, and/or EUSR Water Hygiene?
- Have you gained comprehensive understanding of UK health and safety legislation, best practices, and environmental regulations?
- Do you have knowledge of the water industry, including temporary works, street works, and underground utility services?
- Are you familiar with occupational health risk environments, such as utility service avoidance?
- Can you deliver engaging and effective training sessions, toolbox talks, and safety briefings?
- Support the Operational and SHEQ Teams following investigations that may have highlighted an assurance check on a part of the business where the competency minimum standards have fallen below expectations. Assist with a plan to raise the levels back to the required standard for Morrison Water Services and Thames Water.
What’s in it for you?
We offer a range of benefits designed to support your life in and out of work, some of which include;
- Matched pension scheme
- Online GP service, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year
