Laing O’Rourke is construction partner on Stage 1 of The Royal Sussex County Hospital’s ‘3Ts redevelopment’ programme, a new build 13 storey teaching, trauma & tertiary care block with rooftop helideck occupying the south east quarter of the existing hospital site.

Due to the scale and complexity of this major project we are looking to expand our project team with the appointment of a Senior Health & Safety Advisor.

‘Next Gear’ is our approach to managing health and safety as a dynamic approach, which focuses on risk, and our ethical responsibility to do what is right for our people, the actual risks arising from our operations and actively discourages valueless paperwork and rules. It introduces a different way of approaching work that is a solution focused approach empowering people to trust and make decisions based on critical risk. We believe everyone has a right to return home safely every day and a duty to take care of themselves and those around them.

  • Engaged People – making people the solution
  • Engineered Safety – creating safety at design stage
  • Focused on Risk – clearing away background noise

By continuously improving the way we work, reducing bureaucracy, we free up time to focus on high risk activities, engaging and listening to our people, while maintaining high basic site standards. Next Gear also aligns us more closely with legal requirements and the expectations of the HSE and other regulators.

To fully understand and manage our Health and Safety risks, we must always promote and facilitate openness, honesty and trust across everyone involved in our works. As a result, we choose to focus on the learning from every incident.

Next Gear requires all HSE professionals to focus away from traditional practices and towards being challenging, curious and actively involved in hosting, coaching, mentoring and engagement.

The role of Senior Health & Safety Advisor

  • A key member of the project team the role reports to the Project Leader as an adviser, facilitator and champion for Health, Safety & Environment delivery.
  • Providing local advice and support necessary to assist managers and staff to fulfil their safety responsibilities to the high standards demanded by the Business.
  • Facilitating and coaching operational teams on the “Next Gear” principles and tools to allow the team to engage effectively with the workforce.
  • Carrying out relevant HSE Next Gear assurance activities providing confidence to the business that operational effectiveness of all relevant HSE processes is being delivered.
  • Challenging bureaucratic, non value adding process and paperwork and motivating teams to focus towards their ethical responsibility.
  • Facilitating Fatal and Severe Risk Assessments at frequencies as established by the facility/ project, providing risk assurance.
  • Communicating & influencing people at all levels within the business and externally.
