• Drive environmental initiatives, including waste management, carbon reduction, and sustainability improvement projects.
• Monitor, analyse, and report SHE performance, producing accurate KPIs for senior leadership.
• Act as the organisation's main point of contact with regulatory bodies (HSE, Environment Agency, local authorities).
• Foster and promote a positive health and safety culture across all levels of the business.
