Construction EHS Manager - Major Pharmaceutical Programme - FRANCE

Location: France
Sector: Pharmaceutical / Advanced Manufacturing
Project Value: Circa €350m
Requirement: French speaking essential

I'm working with a construction consultancy client looking to appoint an experienced Construction EHS Manager to support a major client-side capital investment programme in France.

This is a significant circa €350m construction programme, delivering three new production lines and substantial infrastructure upgrades within an existing pharmaceutical manufacturing facility.

The project is currently in the execution/construction phase with approximately 18-24 months remaining. With construction taking place in a live, highly regulated operational environment, EHS is central to every aspect of project delivery.

The Role

As Construction EHS Manager, you will take a leading role in construction health, safety and environmental management across the programme, providing assurance, oversight and support to the wider project and contractor teams.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Leading construction EHS management and assurance across the programme.
• Ensuring construction activities comply with project requirements, applicable legislation and recognised industry standards.
• Providing EHS leadership to project teams, contractors and subcontractors.
• Reviewing contractor EHS plans, RAMS and construction methodologies.
• Undertaking site inspections, audits and assurance activities.
• Identifying risks and ensuring effective corrective and preventative actions are implemented.
• Monitoring contractor EHS performance and challenging where standards are not being achieved.
• Supporting incident investigations, reporting and lessons learned.
• Promoting a positive and proactive safety culture across the site.
• Supporting high-risk construction activities and ensuring appropriate controls are in place.
• Working closely with construction, engineering, project management and operational teams.
• Ensuring construction works are carefully managed around ongoing manufacturing operations.
• Producing EHS reporting and providing clear visibility of performance, risks and emerging issues.
• Supporting construction teams through commissioning, completion and handover.

About You

I'm looking for an experienced construction EHS professional who is comfortable operating in a demanding, technically complex project environment.

You should have:

• Significant construction health, safety and environmental experience.
• Experience on major capital projects within pharmaceutical, life sciences, advanced manufacturing, industrial, process, energy or similarly complex environments.
• Strong knowledge of construction EHS legislation, standards and best practice.
• Experience managing and assuring main contractors and subcontractors.
• Strong audit, inspection, risk management and incident investigation experience.
• Previous experience working within a live operational environment would be particularly beneficial.
• The ability to engage effectively with everyone from site teams through to senior project stakeholders.
• A practical approach to safety combined with the confidence to challenge when required.
• Relevant professional EHS qualifications.
• Professional fluency in French and English.

The Opportunity

This is an opportunity to take a key EHS role on a substantial European capital programme where safety and operational continuity are fundamental to successful delivery.

You'll work client-side alongside an experienced construction and engineering team and have the opportunity to make a genuine impact on EHS performance and culture throughout the remaining construction programme.
