This is a standalone, autonomous position – ideal for someone who thrives in a flexible, self-managed environment.Rather than enforcing safety protocols from the top down, this role requires a personable, approachable, and persuasive communicator – someone who can bring people on board, build relationships, and make safety feel relevant, practical, and easy to engage with.Key Highlights

  • Confidence to work independently, plan and organise your own diary, and travel regionally as needed
  • An appreciation of traditional Irish workplace culture and the nuances of influencing teams in community-based environments
  • A full driver’s licence and access to a vehicle (mileage covered)
