• Promote and strengthen a positive health and safety culture
• Monitor, manage, and deliver key site KPIs
• Lead thorough investigations into microbiological results, driving improvements
• Use root cause analysis to implement SMART actions and deliver measurable results
• Communicate hygiene performance and plans effectively across departments (e.g. Engineering, Production) to ensure alignment and best outcomes
• Manage labour, chemicals, and cleaning budgets, including forecasting
• Act as the site lead for interim cleaning standards

About You

• A strong people manager, confident leading both direct and indirect teams in a fast-paced environment

• Previous responsibility for hygiene standards-either in a dedicated role or as part of a broader operational management position
• Ability to influence, coordinate, and bring together multiple departments
• High-risk or chilled food experience would be beneficial but not essential
