Why Join The Team?

We’re a dynamic manufacturing business that values practical, effective solutions. Over the last year, we’ve operated without a full-time H&S Manager, supported by external consultants. We are now looking for a temporary in-house resource to help us take the next big step in solidifying our safety processes - laying a strong foundation for long-term success.

If you’re ready to roll up your sleeves and make a difference in a short period, we’d love to hear from you. Please apply today with an up-to-date CV.
