Are you looking for a rewarding career where you can make the most of your skills and talents in an organisation that’s serious about sustainability?
About Us
We are an innovation driven digital infrastructure organisation of industry leading experts in intelligent design, engineering, security, science, research, and sustainability. Headquartered in London (UK), with over 500MW of IT capacity live or under development, we develop and operate sustainable data centres for some of the world’s largest technology companies, across the UK, Europe, Middle East, and Asia.
We believe in data centres for good - creating employment opportunities, using our resources to support local communities, and investing in environmental restoration.
Irrespective of which area you work in there’s a common thread that binds everyone at Pure DC together. We’re passionate about always improving the way we are working, operating and developing.
Our goal is to use intelligent design of data centre infrastructure to improve the planet, society and the communities we operate in. Being sustainable makes a lot of sense, our customers want to develop sustainably, and we do too. We recognise and take responsibility for the environmental impact of our data centres and that’s why our in-house design, construction and sustainability teams are working together to reduce emissions associated with our activities and supply chain.
About You
We would love to hear from you if you are:
- Curious, analytical and great at solving problems
- Exceptional at building strong working relationships with team members and across a range of stakeholders
- Flexible and adaptable team player with a can-do attitude
- Able to undertake a variety of activities with a substantial degree of personal responsibility and autonomy.
What You’ll Be Doing
As Head of HSE, you will be responsible for leading and evolving our HSE strategy across multiple high-value construction programmes. Reporting to the Delivery Operations Director, you will ensure our internal and external partners operate to the highest safety and compliance standards across a dynamic, multi-jurisdictional portfolio.
You’ll lead a team of regional HSE Managers, overseeing standards, risk controls, and compliance frameworks while driving a culture of continuous improvement. Your remit will include monthly SLT reporting, contractor oversight, regulatory compliance, and active input into design, delivery, and operational handover.
This is a highly visible leadership role with strategic and hands-on elements. It is suited to someone who can set direction while also rolling up their sleeves when needed – ensuring our HSE function continues to evolve as we scale internationally.
What We’re Looking For
- A genuine passion to drive change: We’re constantly searching for new ways to change the status quo. We need you to be efficient and agile, with excellent attention to detail and a desire to drive value creation and deliver exceptional service.
- Ability to think differently: Our projects all require the team to think through problems and find the most effective and efficient new solution in each case. We’re looking for innovative thinking, problem solving, and a willingness to question assumptions.
- Ability to build and maintain trust:. We build trust and create space for people to own their work and deliver their best. We create environments where people feel safe if they make honest mistakes, and when they do we support them to learn and put things right.
- Ability to connect and collaborate: You’ll be able to share your perspectives constructively and listen openly. Cross functional collaboration is crucial, because we understand that no one team is wholly responsible for building and operating a data centre.
- A strategic mindset with operational depth: Able to translate HSE risk into business decisions, and vice versa
- Proven experience in live construction environments: Particularly data centres, critical infrastructure or comparable sectors
- Strong leadership and coaching ability: Supporting and developing regional HSE teams and influencing senior stakeholders
- Excellent working knowledge of ISO standards (14001, 45001, 9001) – With audit experience and practical application
- Qualifications:
- NEBOSH Diploma or equivalent, IOSH Chartered membership (CMIOSH), and ideally IEMA or environmental training
- Experience
- Previous leadership role in a construction-led organisation, ideally within the data centre, pharmaceutical, industrial or infrastructure sectors
- Experience managing HSE teams across multiple geographies and suppliers
- Deep understanding of construction safety practices, BBS, CDM, COSHH, and environmental risk
- Skilled in incident investigation (root cause), risk assessment, contractor onboarding, and reporting
What’s in it for you?
- You’ll be joining a dedicated, vibrant, dynamic and talented team of people who are deeply passionate about data centres for good.
- We’re committed to the culture of learning and provide regular learning opportunities for everyone. We will support you with your personal and career development plans.
- Your health and wellbeing is really important to us and we want to ensure that you’re able to make the most of the opportunities and reach your full potential. From a programme of wellbeing activities throughout the year to Mental Health First Aiders and a 24-hour impartial Employee Assistance line, we’re determined to create an environment that supports everyone’s mental and physical health.
- We offer a competitive salary.
- You’ll get a generous amount of annual leave which increases with service, plus public holidays.
- You also get an extra day off for your birthday.
- We offer a Salary Sacrifice Pension Scheme.
- We provide Private Medical Insurance for you and your family.
- We offer 3 x Life Insurance and many other benefits.
This is an exciting role for someone who really wants to make a difference and is passionate about how the data centre infrastructure can help to improve the planet, society and the communities we operate in.
