Want to make a Real Difference Every Day?
At Vitacress Salads, we believe people thrive in safe, supportive environments — and so do great ideas. As our new Health, Safety & Environment (HSE) Manager, you’ll lead the charge in nurturing a positive safety culture while guiding our teams through the evolving landscape of legislation, sustainability and continuous improvement.
You’ll be a hands-on champion for safety — visible, approachable, and full of purpose.
In this role, you will:
* Act as the go-to expert on all things HSE, supporting site leaders and teams to stay safe and legally compliant
* Build strong, practical systems that translate regulations into everyday ways of working
* Maintain and evolve our ISO 14001 and 18001 (or equivalent) accreditations
* Lead risk assessments, accident investigations and reporting, while driving meaningful preventative action
* Support line managers in reducing incidents and improving employee wellbeing across factory, field and office spaces
* Set clear targets for improvement and bring people together through forums, training, and collaboration
* Partner with our Sustainability Manager to lead on environmental strategy and best practice
You bring experience from a fast-moving, regulated environment like FMCG or fresh produce. You’re confident presenting, influencing and listening. You thrive on building trust across all levels of a business — and you’re never afraid to ask, “How can we do this better?”
If you’re NEBOSH qualified, passionate about people, and want to lead real change in a business that cares — you’ll fit right in.
