The role

At SSE, safety is our number one value. We live by our licence, if it's not safe, we don't do it. We focus on ensuring that we have no injuries or major environmental incidents, and that people are healthy and happy at work.

Reporting to the Regional Health and Safety Manager, you'll provide proactive and pragmatic occupational health and safety guidance to various stakeholders throughout SSEN Transmission.

- Support effective mitigation of risks by raising awareness and promoting a practical and professional understanding of occupational safety.

- Provide positive engagement and guidance to Asset Management and Operations (AMO) teams in fulfilling their responsibilities under UK Health and Safety legislation and internal procedures. This includes ensuring incidents are investigated, reviewed, recorded, communicated and reported at the correct levels, with actions closed out.

- Develop trusted working relationships with key stakeholders while promoting our Safety Licence: if it's not safe, we don't do it.

- Collaborate broadly within SSEN Transmission and across the SSE Group to support occupational health and safety throughout the business.

You have

- A graduate qualification in Occupational Safety (e.g. NEBOSH Diploma) with proven experience in safety and risk management. Membership of IOSH (or equivalent organisation) is also preferred.

- Professional stakeholder management skills to ensure cross business collaboration and build a high performing, commercially and customer focused safety culture.

- Detailed knowledge of qualitative and quantitative risk assessment.

- Excellent communication skills with a natural ability for building and maintaining relationships with all stakeholder levels.
