Our teams deliver microtunneling, tunneling, hand mining, and shaft construction in every type of ground, above and below the water table. That technical reputation rests on one thing: our people. We recognize and reward creativity, initiative, and hard work, and we are committed to sending every one of them home safe at the end of every shift.In August 2026, Bradshaw became a subsidiary of Soletanche Bachy, a world leader in foundations and underground works, and part of the VINCI Group, a global leader in construction and concessions.

You will also be Bradshaw's EHS link to Soletanche Bachy and VINCI, ensuring that group standards are applied locally and that our performance is reported accurately and on time.This is a hands-on, versatile role. You will write the policies and analyze the data, but you will also stand in front of a crew to teach a new procedure, walk the heading to spot hazards before they become incidents, and coach people to work safely by conviction rather than by rule.
