Job description

Senior QHSE Manager - Transport & Infrastructure

Nottingham – Hybrid working

Salary £60k + 7.5% matched pension + health and wellbeing programme + friends and family discounts and perks

An opportunity to make a real difference to operational safety.

I'm working with a major infrastructure operation looking for an experienced QHSE professional to lead and make a real impact to their business and processes.

This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys being close to operations, influencing decision-makers and turning health and safety requirements into practical improvements on the ground. You'll work alongside engineering, operational and safety leadership teams, helping strengthen the safety culture across a complex, safety-critical environment.

With a relatively small team, your experience, initiative and ability to build relationships will make a genuine difference from day one.

What makes this opportunity interesting?

• Real influence: Work directly with operational managers to improve safety ownership and accountability across the business.
• Varied operational exposure: Support teams spanning engineering, infrastructure, depot operations, control functions and customer-facing services.
• A chance to improve standards: Identify gaps in existing safety arrangements and help implement practical, sustainable improvements.
• A hands‑on role: Spend time in the operation, understand the risks first‑hand and work alongside the people responsible for delivering the service.
• Immediate impact: Take ownership of key safety priorities and provide experienced support during a critical three-month period.

What we're looking for in a Senior QHSE Manager

I am keen to speak with a credible Health & Safety professional who can quickly understand an operation, build trust with managers and confidently challenge where necessary.

You’ll ideally bring:

• A NEBOSH General Certificate as a minimum.
• A strong understanding of health and safety legislation and how to apply it in a live operational environment.
• Experience developing, reviewing or implementing Safety Management Systems.
• The ability to identify operational risks, investigate incidents and drive meaningful corrective actions.
• Confidence influencing managers and improving safety awareness where standards or engagement need strengthening.

I am interested in people from engineering, construction, infrastructure or facilities management background who understand complex operational risks.
