What you’ll be doing

You’ll support the effective day‑to‑day operation and continual improvement of our Environmental and Health & Safety Management Systems across our Coventry sites. This includes supporting ISO 14001 arrangements and the development and implementation of ISO 45001 requirements, while providing practical advice to managers, supervisors and employees.

You’ll spend time in operational areas completing workplace inspections, audits, risk assessments and task observations. Working with responsible managers, you’ll agree corrective actions, monitor progress and support programmes covering COSHH, DSEAR, PUWER, LOLER, waste, environmental controls and other applicable requirements.

You’ll support incident, near‑miss and hazard investigations through evidence gathering, root‑cause analysis, action tracking and sharing lessons learned. You’ll also maintain accurate registers, metrics and compliance records, prepare information for internal and external audits, and help coordinate regulatory or certification activity.

You’ll help deliver inductions, toolbox talks, briefings and awareness campaigns, promote hazard reporting and good housekeeping, and support emergency preparedness activities including fire safety, first aid and drills. You’ll keep informed of relevant legal and industry developments and translate changes into practical business actions.

Our team embraces modern technologies, including AI‑assisted tools, to work smarter and deliver better results. Candidates should either have experience using AI tools or demonstrate a willingness to learn and apply them in their role.
