Placeyorkshire • TRAFFIC • Lancashire, Manchester, United Kingdom • 22h ago

Overview

VACANCY REF: CK

A standout opportunity has arisen for an ambitious and well-connected Health & Safety professional to join a growing, highly regarded consultancy as they expand their presence in the North.

With established offices in Leeds and Manchester, the business is entering an exciting phase of strategic growth, and this appointment represents a key leadership hire for their Health & Safety/CDM team.

The Role

This is more than a delivery role-it's a genuine opportunity to shape a team, influence business direction, and play a visible part in the company's regional and national growth. You will be given the autonomy and backing to develop a robust H&S offering across multiple sectors.

Key responsibilities include:

Leading and developing a growing Health & Safety/CDM team
Acting as the senior interface for key clients across public and private sectors
Delivering and overseeing CDM/Principal Designer services across diverse project portfolios
Identifying new opportunities and contributing to strategic business development
Mentoring and developing talent at all levels within the team
Working closely with regional leadership to support wider business goals

What We're Looking For

We're seeking an experienced H&S professional who:

Is currently operating at Associate Director or Director level within a consultancy or client-side setting
Has strong relationships and a respected reputation across the North-especially within the Leeds or Manchester markets
Is skilled in delivering CDM/PD services across a range of sectors
Understands the commercial landscape and can help drive growth
Is a natural leader with the ability to mentor and inspire others
Holds relevant professional qualifications (CMIOSH, IMaPS, Tech IOSH, or similar)

This role is suited to someone who wants to take ownership of something and build it with the full support of an established and respected consultancy.

Why This Role?

The chance to lead and grow a function during a key stage of expansion
Join a business that values autonomy, accountability and development
An environment that offers career progression, team leadership and increased earning potential
A highly collaborative culture where your ideas will be heard and acted on

Whether you're a Director looking for a fresh challenge, or an Associate Director ready to step up-this role offers a compelling next move.
