Job description

Health & Safety Manager

Are you looking to shape Health & Safety across both factory floors and live construction environments?

This is your opportunity to step into a Health & Safety Manager position with a long-established UK manufacturer with several local production facilities and a wide range of installation and construction activities across the region.

As the Health & Safety Manager, you'll play a key role in shaping culture across both factory and site environments - supporting managers, coaching teams and ensuring safe, consistent operations every day. With direct access to senior leadership, this H&S Manager role offers autonomy, visibility and the chance to make a real impact.

What You'll Be Doing

• Lead Health & Safety across multiple manufacturing facilities and active construction/installation sites across the Midlands and South England
• Carry out inspections and audits across factories and sites - ensuring safe equipment use, lifting operations, strong RAMS and effective subcontractor control
• Develop and improve Health & Safety documentation including risk assessments, RAMS and SSOW
• Support and coach supervisors, site managers and production managers to strengthen day‑to‑day safety leadership
• Lead accident and incident investigations, ensuring clear actions and meaningful learning
• Deliver internal H&S training and toolbox talks and maintain constructive relationships with regulatory bodies

What We're Looking For

• A blend of manufacturing and construction/site experience - experience in either environment with strong transferable skills will also be considered
• Understanding of machinery/equipment safety, workplace transport, lifting operations and construction‑phase risks
• Practical experience working with subcontractors, RAMS, crane operations, scaffolding or site‑based installation activities
• NEBOSH Diploma or equivalent level H&S qualification (or NEBOSH Certificate with highly relevant experience)
• Confident communication skills and the ability to challenge appropriately while building trust across diverse teams
• Full UK driving licence

What's On Offer

• A competitive basic salary of £50,000 - £60,000
• Fully funded EV company car (Tesla)
• Mileage reimbursed at HMRC EV rate
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays
• Pension scheme
• Laptop, phone and travel expenses paid
• 1‑2 days per week home working once established
• Flexible working hours around role requirements

Why Join?

• A high‑impact, autonomous position where you can shape the Health & Safety function
• Direct access to senior leadership in an open, collaborative environment
• Strong foundations already in place - with space to refine, improve and influence culture
• A stable, long‑established business entering an exciting phase of operational development
• The chance to work across both manufacturing and construction environments, offering genuine variety and career development

If you're a motivated, people‑focused Health & Safety professional looking to take on a varied H&S Manager role across manufacturing and construction environments, we'd love to hear from you.
