Health & Safety Officer
Based in Galway | Sites Across Ireland (Primarily in the West)
Full-Time Position | Immediate Start Available
PMD Formwork is a leading provider of concrete formwork solutions across Ireland. We work with top-tier main contractors on major construction projects and pride ourselves on delivering safe, high-quality work through our directly employed teams and trusted subcontractor partners.
We are currently seeking a Health & Safety Officer to join our growing team. This is an excellent opportunity for someone early in their health and safety career to gain real site experience while being supported by experienced professionals.
Key Responsibilities:
- Assist with the implementation and monitoring of Health & Safety procedures across all active sites
- Conduct regular site inspections and audits, ensuring compliance with main contractor and statutory health and safety requirements
- Support our teams — both directly employed staff and subcontractors — in understanding and applying safety best practices
- Help with the development of method statements, risk assessments, and safety documentation
- Report on incidents, near misses, and safety observations, and assist in implementing corrective actions
- Stay informed of legislative changes and industry best practice
What We’re Looking For:
- A relevant qualification in Health & Safety (e.g., Diploma, Degree, or equivalent)
- A strong interest in construction safety and a proactive attitude
- Full clean driving licence and willingness to travel to project sites (mainly in the West of Ireland)
- Good communication skills and the confidence to engage with on-site personnel and main contractor representatives
- Previous site-based experience is an advantage, but not essential — support and training will be provided
Why Join PMD Formwork?
- Be part of a company where safety is a priority, not a checkbox
- Gain hands-on experience with real support and room to grow
- Work on varied and interesting projects with a strong, collaborative team
