About This Role
This is a senior leadership role within a specialized industrial company, OVID FORMWORK PLC, which operates in the engineering and construction sector. As the Health & Safety Engineer Head, you are not just a compliance officer; you are responsible for building and enforcing a safety culture across all operations, likely involving high-risk environments like construction sites or heavy manufacturing. This position suits an experienced professional who can move beyond paperwork to drive behavioral change and risk mitigation at an executive level.
What the Requirements Say About This Role
The requirement for a BSc in Health and Safety/Environmental Engineering—not just general engineering—indicates the employer values specialized, technical grounding in hazard identification and environmental impact. The eight-year minimum experience threshold suggests they need a leader who has managed complex safety systems, not just someone with years of logging incidents. Expect to demonstrate proven track records in policy development, audit management, and cross-departmental coordination, as the "Head" title implies oversight of a team and direct reporting to senior management.
How to Approach This Application
Your application must go beyond a standard CV. Tailor your cover letter to highlight specific safety programs you have designed or overhauled, particularly in construction or heavy industry settings. Emphasize measurable outcomes—such as reduction in lost-time injuries or successful regulatory inspections—and your ability to train and influence non-safety staff. Since the company is in the formwork and construction supply sector, show familiarity with international safety standards (e.g., ISO 45001) and local Ethiopian labor regulations.
Who This Role Suits
This role is best suited for a seasoned safety professional with at least a decade of experience in industrial or construction safety, who is ready to lead at a strategic level. Given the narrow specialization and executive seniority, the competition will be moderate but serious—only highly qualified candidates should apply.
