• Certified in IEMA Environmental Management or equivalent.
• Experience in FMCG, preferably in high care environments like pharmaceutical, healthcare, or food.
• Knowledge of UK regulatory standards and ISO standards (ISO14001, OHSAS18001, ISO9001).
• Achievement-oriented, resilient, and able to work under pressure.
• Strong leadership, motivation, and team-working skills.
• Excellent communication and influencing abilities at all levels.
