Support hazard identification and risk assessments and track control actions through to closure. 4. Compile and quality-check HSE data and produce periodic performance reports and summaries for project and regional leads. 5. Support the development of inductions, awareness sessions, and training content. 6. Research applicable HSE legislation, standards, and client requirements to support compliance reviews. 7. Escalate issues and queries to senior HSE colleagues and project leads and apply feedback to continuously improve delivery quality. 8. Consistently apply ERM methodologies, tools, and quality/HSE procedures, including ERM’s own safety standards.

Typically up to ~2 years of HSE/EHS or related experience (graduates and those with internship/placement experience are welcome). 3.

Strong technical writing and documentation skills, with high attention to detail and data accuracy. 5. Proficiency in MS Office (Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint) and confidence learning HSE/EHS software and digital tools. 6.
