Bring Safety Culture to Life

Are you a safety champion? If so this Health & Safety Manager role may be for you.

You will be a candidate who can do more than manage compliance, someone who can inspire change, challenge mindsets, and embed a positive safety culture across busy operational depots.

This is your chance to join a well-established rail organisation with an opportunity to genuinely shape its safety culture from the ground up.

The Opportunity

Based primarily at base in Dartford, you'll take the lead in:

• Promoting and developing a proactive, engaged safety culture
• Supporting local leadership in driving behavioural change around health and safety
• Ensuring safe working practices across all depot and contractor operations
• Carrying out internal and external alongside corporate safety partners
• Leading engagement sessions and workshops to make safety visible and meaningful
• Supporting compliance with legislation, internal standards, and audit readiness

You’ll have genuine autonomy, empowered to challenge processes, influence culture, and drive measurable improvement.

About You

You're not just a policy enforcer; you're a safety advocate. Someone who believes culture change happens by engaging people, not instructing them.

We'd love to hear from you if you have:

• Proven health and safety leadership experience within Rail or Transport
• Confidence to influence and challenge constructively at all levels
• A practical, people‑first approach to safety improvement
• NEBOSH Certificate Minimum
• Strong communication skills and confidence working with operational teams

What's in it for you?

• Free travel benefits for you + discounted for others
• Flexible hours – 38 hours per week, genuine flexibility in how those hours are worked
• Freedom to plan your own schedule around site activity
• Travel benefits & discounted tickets for family or friends
• Autonomy to shape safety culture and lead meaningful change
• Ongoing professional development
• Join a company that values practical leadership and proactive safety management
