Job description

Health and Safety Manager - Rail - Multi Site

Location: Dartford
Contract Type: Permanent
Salary: Circa 50,000 - 55,000
Hours: 38 hours per week, with flexible start and finish times

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 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 audits 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 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 Engineering, Rail or Transport
• Confidence to influence and challenge constructively at all levels
• A practical, people‑first approach to safety improvement
• NEBOSH Diploma (ideally); we will consider candidates working towards it
• Strong communication skills and confidence working with operational teams

We welcome applicants of all backgrounds – what matters most is your ability to lead engagement, drive accountability, and bring best practice to life in a complex environment.

What's in it for you?

• Free travel benefits for you and discounted fares for family or friends
• Flexible hours – 38 hours per week with genuine flexibility in how those hours are worked, including the option to work early, late, or on occasional night shifts to engage with teams on different patterns
• Autonomy to shape safety culture and lead meaningful change
• Ongoing professional development
• Work with a company that values practical leadership and proactive safety management
