Health and Safety Auditor - Watford

Wifinity; London; Hybrid; GBP 35,000 - 55,000

Job description

This role is a mixture of WFH and visiting customer sites so your location can be flexible. Ideally, we're looking for someone who can cover the South of England.

About us:

Wifinity was founded in 2007 to solve a problem—our armed forces were struggling with reliable connectivity. While living in barracks, often in remote locations, ordering a landline and booking in an engineer just wasn’t an option.

And that problem isn’t exclusive to the military, either. Students living in University accommodation, families visiting holiday resorts, or living in shared accommodation and retirement communities.

Conventional home broadband doesn’t always work for them.

Wifinity is different. We offer the same benefits as traditional broadband, such as super-fast speeds, WiFi, and secure and private networks, but none of the downsides. We even offer Pay As You Go and flexible contracts, so customers only pay for what they need without hefty penalties or long contract terms.

We take the complexity out of connectivity.

The opportunity:

Health and Safety (Environment and Quality) are priorities for Wifinity. You will promote and support a positive Health and Safety mindset/culture as you support the development of, and deliver SHEQ programmes and frameworks across our UK customer sites, in particular as a Health and Safety Auditor. As a subject matter expert in SHEQ you will provide robust and trusted advice to your business stakeholders and client areas and will be able to audit and provide appropriate reporting and recommendations for continual improvements.

We hold four ISOs (9001, 14001, 27001, 45001) and you will be able to support the continual development and improvement of our Management System as well as provide valuable input into our ESG journey.

2. You will always promote and role model positive SHEQ behaviours to both internal and external stakeholders.
3. Working with the Operational Team you will plan and undertake audits and inspections to ensure that works being undertaken comply with legal requirements whilst also considering the specific needs of the Client.
4. Work to identify trends from sites visited and provide sound advice as to any improvements that can be made to further enhance our delivery model.
5. Develop and deliver Toolbox Talks consistent with the findings of the audits and inspections to ensure consistent understanding of any areas of focus or specific changes required in order to continually improve our delivery.
6. Maintain records of audits and inspections inclusive of corrective actions and ensure timely follow up and closure.
7. As required, attend and assist in investigations where issues arise relevant to the health, safety and environmental elements.

9. Develop and review RAMS to support current and future Company operations.
10. Support the ongoing development and improvement of the Company Management System.

About you:
