Full Job Description

At HSE, we work with one goal in mind - to help keep Britain's workforce safe and healthy. Our work touches virtually every sector of Great Britain's industries. Combining specialists from numerous fields, we strive to keep people and their working environments safe.

Our capabilities encompass a wide range of topics including: fire, explosion, process safety and engineering; occupational and environmental health; risk assessment; work environment; and specialist technical imaging, visual presentation and analysis services.
This breadth of expertise underpins our particular strength in creating multidisciplinary teams to support major incident investigations and policy development, as well as undertaking high quality research.
