Job description

We are looking for a proactive QHSE Engineer to work closely with our QHSE Director, supporting and developing Quality, Health & Safety and Environmental standards across the Solsta business.

This is a varied role offering exposure across multiple locations and functions. You will help maintain our existing management systems and certifications, support the introduction of new standards and play an active role in driving continuous improvement and a consistent QHSE approach across the business.

Please note this role is based at our Head Office in Redditch, with travel to other sites as required, operating as a hybrid model with three days a week onsite.

What you will be doing

You will support a broad range of QHSE activities, including:

• Maintaining and improving QHSE management systems.
• Supporting ISO9001, AS9100, ISO14001 and ISO45001, together with additional standards including ISO13485 and IATF 16949.
• Planning and conducting internal and supplier audits.
• Supporting risk assessments, method statements and H&S compliance.
• Investigating accidents, incidents, near misses and non-conformances.
• Leading root cause investigations and corrective actions, including NCR and 8D.
• Supporting supplier approval, evaluation and performance.
• Hosting customer and third-party audits.
• Preparing FAIRs and supporting customer quality requirements.
• Monitoring QHSE KPIs and identifying opportunities for improvement.
• Supporting environmental compliance, carbon reduction and sustainability initiatives.

The position works across Operations, Manufacturing, Sales, Product Management, suppliers, customers and external compliance bodies.

What we are looking for

We are looking for someone with practical QHSE experience who is comfortable working across different teams and locations and can combine strong attention to detail with a pragmatic, improvement-focused approach.

You will ideally bring:

• NEBOSH and/or IOSH qualification.
• Experience conducting internal and/or supplier audits.
• Knowledge of ISO9001, AS9100D, ISO13485 and/or IATF 16949 quality systems.
• Experience within an electronics, distribution, manufacturing or similarly regulated environment.
• Strong problem-solving and continuous improvement skills.
• The confidence to work with colleagues, suppliers, customers and external auditors.

This is an opportunity to take on a genuinely varied QHSE role, working across Quality, Health & Safety and Environmental activities rather than being restricted to one discipline.

You will work alongside the QHSE Director while having the opportunity to influence standards, improve processes and help develop a strong and consistent QHSE culture across Solsta.
