Job description

Ready to make the step into HSEQ Management?

HSEQ Manager | Ayrshire | Engineering | £38,000 - £45,000+ Benefits

If you require flexibility around your work/life balance there is also the opportunity to flex your hours or reduce your hours to fit you life.

Are you an experienced HSEQ/SHEQ Advisor, Officer or Specialist who feels ready to take the next step?

Or perhaps you're already operating at Manager level but want a role where you'll have the autonomy to genuinely shape how HSEQ works?

We're partnering with an established engineering business in Ayrshire to recruit an HSEQ Manager — and we're particularly interested in speaking to ambitious HSEQ professionals who are ready to take greater ownership and make their mark.

This is a fantastic opportunity to step into a management-level role and take ownership of HSEQ across an entire business, while remaining close to the operation and the people within it. This isn't a desk-based HSEQ role it is a role that is visible, approachable and engaged on the shop floor.

You’ll take responsibility across Health & Safety, Environment and Quality, with a particular emphasis on H&S.

The company already operates ISO 9001 and ISO 45001, so you’ll take ownership of maintaining and continually improving these systems while reviewing existing processes to ensure they’re practical and proportionate for the business.

You’ll get involved in everything from risk assessments, COSHH and incident investigation through to quality, audits, root-cause analysis, corrective actions and continuous improvement.

You’ll also produce concise weekly H&S and Quality reporting, helping management understand the issues, trends and priorities that need attention.

You’ll ideally bring experience from engineering, manufacturing or another hands‑on operational environment, together with a solid grounding in Health & Safety.

But we're equally interested in how you operate. We are looking for someone who is:

• Visible
• Practical
• Approachable
• Curious
• Confident enough to challenge
• And capable of bringing people with them

Why consider it?

For someone at the right stage of their career, this is a genuine opportunity to move from supporting an HSEQ function to owning one.

You’ll have the scope to shape processes, influence culture, work directly with management and build broader experience across Safety, Health, Environment and Quality
