Key responsibilities include:

• Promoting and embedding a strong, positive H&S culture at all levels

  
  

• Ensuring compliance with company policies, legal requirements and HSE management systems

  
  

• Conducting accident and incident investigations and ensuring corrective actions are closed out

  
  

• Preparing and reviewing risk assessments, SOPs and CoSHH assessments

  
  

• Managing contractor control processes

  
  

• Delivering new starter inductions and supporting ongoing HSE training programmes

  
  

• Carrying out internal audits and supporting external ISO audits

  
  

• Ensuring sites are “audit ready” at all times

  
  

• Supporting Environmental Management Systems and maintaining ISO 14001 accreditation

  
  

• Collating HSE KPIs and performance data

  
  

• Chairing and attending HSE meetings as required

  
  

  You’ll also deputise for the Group HSE Director when required and support wider business HSE initiatives.

  What We’re Looking For

  • Level 6 qualification in Health & Safety (or working towards)

    
    

  • Full UK driving licence (travel to local sites required)

    
    

  • Proven experience managing ISO-accredited HSE management systems

    
    

  • Strong working knowledge of UK H&S legislation

    
    

  • Experience conducting audits, investigations and developing HSE documentation

    
    

  • Confident communicator, comfortable engaging both shop-floor teams and senior management

    
    

  • Proactive, solutions-focused and capable of driving change

    
    

  • Manufacturing or FMCG experience desirable (but not essential)

    
    What’s On Offer

    • Competitive salary of £40,000 – £45,000

      
      

    • Stable, long-term role within a respected business

      
      

    • Opportunity to influence standards and make a real impact

      
      

    • Clear scope for professional development and progression

      
      

    • Supportive management team with a strong focus on safety

      
      

      Additional checks: DBS, medical questionnaire and drug & alcohol testing will be required.

      Apply now if you’re ready to take ownership of HSE standards and be a visible, trusted presence in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
