Job description

Futures are working with an award-winning manufacturing business headquartered in South Yorkshire. We're seeking a hands-on Health & Safety Manager who thrives in the heart of operations — not just behind a desk.

As Health & Safety Manager, you'll take the lead in ensuring safe, compliant, and efficient working environments across a large single site. You'll play a critical role in protecting people, improving processes, and maintaining excellence — from live construction projects to complex installation work.

This is a role for a visible, proactive leader — someone who builds trust on site, solves problems collaboratively, and takes pride in preventing incidents before they happen.

Key Responsibilities

• Take full ownership of on-site safety performance across multiple active projects.
• Lead investigations into incidents and near misses, producing clear, actionable outcomes.
• Identify trends and implement preventative measures to continuously raise safety standards.
• Deliver engaging toolbox talks and safety briefings that inspire lasting awareness.
• Conduct regular site inspections and audits to maintain compliance and drive best practice.
• Collaborate with project teams to develop and refine RAMS that are practical and effective.
• Manage Non-Conformance Reports (NCRs) to ensure timely resolution and corrective action.
• Maintain accurate records and documentation to support audits, compliance, and reporting.

Qualifications

• NEBOSH General Certificate (or higher).
• Valid CSCS card and full UK driving licence (travel required).
• Proven background in Health & Safety within manufacturing, construction, or installation environments.
• Strong communicator able to engage confidently with both site teams and senior leaders.
• Mindset: Practical, solution-focused, and genuinely passionate about creating safer workplaces.
• Flexibility: Willingness to travel nationally with occasional overnight stays.
