We are recruiting a Health & Safety Manager to lead operational safety across a multi-site industrial operation, with a strong focus on operational safety. This role partners closely with operational teams to improve safety culture and ensure robust control of risk in high-hazard environments.

• Manage and develop a small regional team (2 direct reports)
• Conduct inspections, audits and risk assessments with a focus on plant operations
• Support and implement safety-critical procedures such as Lockout/Tagout (LOTO), permit-to-work, confined space, and machinery safety
• Engage and coach site leadership and operational staff on best practice and compliance
• Provide clear reporting to leadership and collaborate with environmental and quality teams

About You:

• NEBOSH-qualified with experience in a heavy manufacturing, waste management, or similar heavy plant environment
• Strong understanding of high-risk operational controls and processes (LOTO, permit systems, etc.)
• Proven ability to influence, engage, and improve safety performance on the ground
• Experience managing a dispersed team and working across multiple locations
• Confident, credible, and committed to practical, risk-focused safety management
• Full UK Driving licence and willing to travel regularly within the region
