Are you passionate about protecting people and the environment?  Are you seeking a role where your work truly matters and you have the opportunity to develop your skills and build your career in EHS?  We are seeking an EHS Advisor, based at the Port of East Anglia, to play a key role in strengthening our safety culture, improving systems and processes, and ensuring everyone across our port operations goes home safe every day.

Your role

In this role, you’ll provide EHS support for our leadership and operational teams across all port activities, administering EHS records and reporting, as well as monitoring and measuring performance whilst supporting continuous improvement across the port.  You will provide guidance, coaching, and practical solutions, conducting incident investigations where you will identify root causes and drive meaningful improvements.

An important part of your role will be reviewing and updating policies, procedures, and systems to ensure they remain current and effective.  You will also deliver training to operational teams – helping colleagues understand and apply safe working practices.

This is a rewarding opportunity with clear recognition, structured training and a genuine career path in EHS, where you will be part of a supportive team that values collaboration, fresh ideas, and proactive thinking.

• Strong knowledge of UK EHS legislation and regulatory requirements;
• Good IT capability including Outlook, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint;
• A NEBOSH General Certificate – this is essential;
• Auditing experience with ISO standards;
• A full UK driving licence and willingness to travel occasionally across sites
