You’ll ideally have EHS experience within a manufacturing or engineering environment, with exposure to high‑risk processes, risk assessments, incident investigation and safety culture improvement.

NEBOSH or IOSH is preferred, but significant practical experience will be considered. The business is also open to supporting the right person through further qualifications.

Most importantly, you’ll be practical, confident and comfortable on the shop floor; someone who can build relationships, challenge standards and get things done.
