Our mission

At Vertical Aerospace, we are pioneering the way for electric aviation. The VX4, our eVTOL (electric, vertical, take-off and landing), ‘zero emissions’ aircraft will set a new safety standard for how we will navigate the sky.

We won’t realise our mission following the same legacy processes and traditions our predecessors followed, instead, we want to ‘redefine’ aerospace best practices.

We are growing quickly from a prototype business to a scaling SME, and the next few years will be critical to our success and delivering on our ambitious goals of having the VX4 in service by 2030.

What To Expect

At Vertical Aerospace, we’re pioneering the future of electric aviation. As we continue to grow, we are looking for an HSE Officer to help ensure a safe and compliant working environment across our sites.

This is a site-based role at our Kemble location (Cotswold Airport), working closely with the Site Responsible Person, HSE team, and on-site teams such as Flight Test, Test, Powertrain, and Logistics. Occasional travel to Bristol and other sites will be required.

As part of a growing HSE team, you’ll have the opportunity to shape our safety culture and contribute ideas as we scale.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Ensuring compliance with HSE policies, regulations, and best practices.
• Conducting risk assessments and implementing control measures.
• Managing HSE reports, investigating incidents, and driving corrective actions.
• Maintaining HSE policies, safe work systems, and procedural frameworks.
• Managing training matrices, delivering toolbox talks, and coordinating HSE training.
• Conducting safety inspections, fire drills, and lone working assessments.
• Collaborating with external bodies for compliance, waste management, and site inspections.
• Supporting the HSE Committee and escalating concerns where necessary.
  
  

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years’ HSE experience, ideally in aerospace or automotive.
• NEBOSH Diploma or equivalent qualification.
• Experience in auditing processes and systems.
• Strong knowledge of pressure systems and electricity at work.
• Exceptional interpersonal skills with the ability to build strong relationships.
• Adaptability, resilience, and a pragmatic, evidence-based approach to decision-making.
  
  

What can you expect from us?

We're on a mission. Where others see limits, we see opportunity, and we work at pace. Working at Vertical isn't your average role but for those seeking a challenge, a flexible, supportive organisation and an incredible team; working here is an opportunity to do the best work of your career.

Our approach promotes ingenuity and courage, while our environment builds success through diligence in safety and being open in the way we work. The only way we're going to assure the next chapter of aviation history is by working as a team, relentlessly, towards our goal.

Our Benefits

Our people matter - we're not going anywhere without them. Which is why our company benefits go beyond the essentials.

• 26 days holiday, plus bank holiday
• 5 extra days per year to buy (or sell)
• 5 extra days holiday when you get married or enter a civil partnership
• Additional 4% of your salary to spend on extra benefits
• Award-winning digital health and wellbeing service (Help@Hand)
• Company Share Scheme - open to every Vertical employee
• Company Pension Scheme - 5% and we match it
• Breakfast on us, every day
  
  

We may just be the hardest job you've ever had, but we're confident it will be the most rewarding. Join the team today and help us shape the future of Advanced Air Mobility.
