5V Tech is partnered with a UK clean-tech scale-up working in the circular economy for critical minerals. Due to their growth, they are looking for a hands‑on Health & Safety Advisor to join its pilot processing site.

You will have real ownership of day‑to‑day safety on a live chemical processing site, with the freedom to build practical systems that work for a fast‑moving business rather than copy‑and‑paste templates.

What you’ll be working on:

• Leading day‑to‑day health and safety delivery on site, keeping things compliant and practical as operations scale
• Running gap analyses against regulatory standards and best practice, then putting clear corrective plans in place
• Owning COSHH management, including assessments, controls, training and monitoring
• Adapting ISO principles into simple, scalable safety systems
• Delivering training, briefings and toolbox talks, and being a visible, approachable presence on site
• Working with managers and teams across the site to build shared ownership of safety

What they’re looking for:

• NEBOSH General Certificate or equivalent
• Strong working knowledge of UK H&S legislation, including HASAWA, COSHH, COMAH and DSEAR
• Practical COSHH experience in a chemical processing or similar industrial environment
• Experience in an industrial setting where safety had to keep pace with operational change
• Confidence communicating at all levels and turning complex requirements into clear actions
• Full UK driving licence and own transport for travel between sites

Bonus points for:

• NEBOSH Diploma or equivalent
• IOSH membership (or willingness to obtain)
• Experience in a start‑up or scale‑up environment

Important things to know:

• This is a fully onsite role in Plymouth
• You’ll need to travel between business sites
