Key Responsibilities
As a Safety and Security Coordinator, you will play a key role in creating and maintaining a safe, secure, and positive working environment for our employees and visitors. You will proactively identify potential safety and security risks, carrying out regular audits and inspections to ensure compliance with company policies and relevant regulations.
You will be responsible for responding to security incidents, emergencies, and alarm activations, taking swift and appropriate action while remaining calm under pressure. Where incidents occur, you will investigate the circumstances, document your findings, and produce accurate reports to support continuous improvement.
A key part of the role involves promoting a strong safety culture across the business. This includes developing and delivering engaging safety training, raising awareness of best practices, and encouraging colleagues to take an active role in maintaining a safe workplace. You will work closely with management to review and enhance safety procedures, ensuring they remain effective and up to date.
You will also act as a trusted point of contact for safety and security-related queries, maintaining regular communication with both local management and the regional and national HSE teams.
