Job description

About Hexeal

Hexeal Chemicals Limited is a growing Norfolk-based manufacturer and online retailer of chemical, household, automotive, beauty ingredients and specialist products, supplying customers throughout the UK.

We are looking for a practical Compliance Manager to take ownership of compliance across our manufacturing, production and warehousing operation.

This is a broad, hands-on role covering legislative compliance, Health & Safety, product compliance, quality control, new product development, plant and machinery, and general site standards.

The Role

Working closely with the Directors, Production & Warehouse teams, you will be responsible for ensuring our products, people, equipment, processes and premises are safe, compliant and operating to a high standard.

This is not purely a desk-based role. We need someone who will be actively involved across the site – identifying risks, checking standards, investigating issues and ensuring actions are completed.

Key Responsibilities

Compliance & Legislation

• Ensure the business complies with relevant UK legislation and regulatory requirements.
• Maintain compliance records, policies, registers and documentation.
• Conduct internal audits and manage corrective actions.

Health & Safety

• Take day-to-day ownership of Health & Safety across the site.
• Work alongside our external consultancy partner for Health & Safety.
• Maintain risk assessments, COSHH assessments, policies and Safe Systems of Work.
• Carry out regular workplace, production and warehouse inspections.
• Monitor PPE, manual handling, workplace transport, etc.
• Coordinate relevant H&S training and emergency procedures.

Plant, Machinery & Site

• Maintain a register of plant, machinery and operational equipment.
• Manage preventative maintenance, servicing and statutory inspection schedules.
• Ensure machinery is appropriately risk assessed, guarded and maintained.
• Maintain service records, inspection certificates and contractor documentation.
• Support compliance with PUWER, LOLER and other applicable requirements.
• Monitor warehouse safety, racking, storage, forklifts, pedestrian routes and general site standards.
• Coordinate fire safety, electrical, emergency lighting and other required inspections and servicing.

Product & Chemical Compliance

• Ensure products meet applicable chemical and product legislation.
• Review product classifications, labels, packaging, warnings and claims.
• Prepare, review and maintain Safety Data Sheets (SDS).
• Support compliance with GB CLP, UK REACH and other relevant regulations.
• Maintain product specifications, Certificates of Analysis and technical documentation.

Quality Control

• Develop and maintain appropriate quality control procedures.
• Monitor raw materials, production processes and finished-product quality.
• Ensure batch and production records are accurately maintained.
• Work with Production to maintain consistent product standards.

New Product Development

• Work closely with NPD on new and improved products.
• Assess formulations, ingredients, raw materials, packaging and proposed claims.
• Ensure new products are correctly classified, labelled and documented.

About You

We are looking for someone who is organised, practical and willing to take ownership.

Ideally, you will have experience within a manufacturing, chemical, industrial, FMCG or warehousing environment, with knowledge of the following:

• Health & Safety and workplace compliance
• Risk assessments and COSHH
• Quality control and quality management
• Plant and machinery compliance
• PUWER / LOLER
• Chemical and product compliance
• GB CLP / UK REACH / Safety Data Sheets
• SOPs and Safe Systems of Work
• Auditing and incident investigation
• New product development
• Preventative maintenance and servicing

The Person We're Looking For

We need someone who notices things and gets them resolved.

Whether it's a machine overdue a service, an incorrect product label, an outdated risk assessment or a quality check that isn't being completed, you will be expected to identify the issue, determine what needs to happen and follow it through to completion.

What We Offer

• Permanent, full-time position
• Competitive £40,000 per annum salary, dependent on experience
• A varied and responsible role within a growing UK manufacturer
• Direct involvement with the Directors and senior management
• Significant autonomy and opportunity to shape our compliance systems
• A varied environment covering manufacturing, warehousing, quality and product development
