Siemens Gamesa

Senior Health and Safety Manager – UK wide travel

A snapshot of your day

Your day starts by connecting with your Health & Safety leadership team, aligning priorities across a portfolio of complex UK transmission and substation projects. You move seamlessly between strategic oversight and hands-on support—reviewing project risks, advising senior leaders, and acting as the escalation point for Health & Safety matters where clarity and confidence are needed most.

Whether engaging with clients, contractors or JV partners, you ensure expectations are clear and issues are closed effectively. You spend time reviewing audit findings, incident investigations and performance data, using insights to drive continual improvement and strengthen the Zero Harm culture across the business.

With regular travel to sites and time in the Newcastle office occasionally, you remain visible and connected, coaching teams, sharing best practice and ensuring Health & Safety is fully embedded in how Siemens Energy delivers its projects—safely, compliantly and with integrity.
