SHE Technician – Food Manufacturing

You know that person on site who always spots the missing guard, the blocked fire exit, or the dodgy contractor climbing a rack? I’m looking for you.

The Role

You’ll be the go‑to person for everything Health, Safety and Environment on site — the one ensuring people get home with all their fingers still attached.

• Help managers and supervisors own safety rather than just talk about it.
• Lead incident investigations beyond ticking boxes.
• Carry out inspections and audits, spotting trends before they become issues.
• Coaching, training, and occasionally saving the day when someone forgets what “lock out/tag out” means.
• Support site projects, making sure H&S isn’t an afterthought.
• Track KPIs and make sense of the numbers so leadership can act effectively.

You’ll be the bridge between the people on the floor and the people upstairs — helping create a culture that’s safe, sustainable, and still productive.

What You’ll Need

• NEBOSH Certificate or equivalent (IEMA/IOSH a bonus).
• Experience working in a manufacturing or warehousing environment (food manufacturing ideal).
• Knowledge of machinery safety, contractor management, and environmental compliance.
• Curiosity that leads you to ask “why?” instead of “who messed up?”
• Desire to grow beyond a clipboard role.

The Person

• Confident enough to challenge people without pissing them off.
• Enjoy solving problems more than creating paperwork.
• Genuinely care about people, not just procedures.
• Balance positivity and pragmatism to keep a site moving forward.

The Company

A well‑established, family‑owned food manufacturer that’s been around long enough to know what they’re doing — but modern enough to care about doing it better. They have multiple sites across the UK, invest properly in their people, and treat health, safety and sustainability as more than a box‑ticking exercise.

The Details

Hours: Monday to Friday
Location: Wendover

This opportunity comes with benefits including a health scheme, pension, and plenty of personal development opportunities.

If you’d rather work somewhere that values your input instead of rolling their eyes when you talk about safety, this might be worth a chat.
