About the Role:
As the Industrial Sustainability, Environment & Energy (ISEE) and Health & Safety Manager, you will be responsible for ensuring full compliance with legal, environmental, energy, and health & safety standards at site level. You will support the implementation of Group and Regional guidelines, overseeing performance, engaging teams, and contributing to a culture of safety, sustainability, and continuous improvement. In this dual-focus role, you will support the plant's regulatory compliance, reduce risk of business disruption, and drive strategic sustainability planning.
You will act as the plant's subject matter expert for Health & Safety and Environmental compliance, managing both external regulatory relationships and internal communications across teams. From incident response and energy governance to staff training and reporting, your role ensures that Ferrero's people and operations are protected, compliant, and forward-looking.
Main Responsibilities:
In this role as the Industrial Sustainability, Environment & Energy (ISEE) and Health & Safety Manager, you will lead health and safety efforts across the site, identifying and mitigating risks, establishing site-specific safety plans, and ensuring full compliance with regulatory and Group H&S requirements. You will support incident investigations, define root causes, and track corrective actions. You'll also lead risk assessments, emergency response plans, and coaching for managers to embed a safety-first culture.
You will manage all local health and safety documentation and reporting, from metrics and compliance updates to audits and inspections. You'll ensure preventive maintenance for safety equipment is carried out, that training is delivered to all relevant personnel, and that site activities are aligned with Ferrero's strategic H&S goals. You'll also act as the main liaison during external authority inspections and will ensure proper documentation for licenses and regulatory requirements.
On the sustainability and environment side, you will oversee compliance across key areas including energy use, water, waste, emissions, and refrigerants. You'll lead the site's Masterplan for sustainability, ensure reliable data collection and monitoring, and provide reports to central teams in line with DOSEE requirements. You'll also ensure timely reporting and escalation of any incidents, emergencies, or risks to operations or the environment.
You will contribute to continuous improvement and professional knowledge-sharing by participating in Ferrero's professional family working groups. You'll support the deployment of internal training programs across all levels of the site to strengthen sustainability and safety practices. Additionally, you will collaborate with procurement and project teams to ensure that health, safety, and environmental considerations are embedded in new equipment design, construction, and contractor selection.

We are looking for an experienced and committed professional with a strong background in health & safety, environmental compliance, and industrial sustainability-ideally within a manufacturing or industrial setting. You should have an excellent understanding of UK regulations and standards in these areas, alongside experience managing audits, investigations, and stakeholder engagement.
You'll bring strong analytical and reporting skills, the ability to interpret data and legislation, and a proactive mindset to identify risks and drive site-level improvements. You should be confident working with cross-functional teams, external authorities, and central governance groups, with a collaborative and solutions-focused approach. If you're passionate about creating safe, compliant, and sustainable workplaces, and want to be part of a business that values responsibility and continuous improvement, this role offers an excellent opportunity to make an impact at Ferrero.
