Key responsibilities include leading and delivering SHEQ and ESG components of tender responses, reviewing contractual requirements to identify risks and opportunities, and providing SHEQ/ESG support to work‑winning teams. The role also involves identifying critical SHEQ risks, collaborating to de‑risk proposals, building strategic stakeholder relationships, and proposing SHEQ innovations to enhance proposal value. Additionally, the incumbent will develop a library of standardised SHEQ responses and may support mobilisation or demobilisation teams as needed.
Ventia’s Group SHEQ team have a newly created position for a Pre Contracts Lead to partner with operations, providing leadership, advice and support in the development of SHEQ responses for work winning opportunities across the enterprise.

A positive, hands‑on approach and enthusiasm for shaping a new team are also valued.
