EXCELLENT SALARY AND BENEFITS PACKAGE INCLUDING COMPANY VEHICLE
Headquartered in Dunfermline and with multiple locations throughout Scotland, GRW Talent’s client is amongst the UK’s largest home improvement companies with a highly recognisable and established brand that is synonymous with quality. Due to continuous sales growth in both their domestic and commercial customer bases, they now need to make the key hire of a Health and Safety Manager.
Rated Excellent on Trust Pilot with over 5000 reviews and voted the best company in the UK in their sector by consumer champion (url removed), the customer experience and service is at the heart of everything they do.
Due to exceptional sales growth in existing and new markets, the company has a requirement to further expand its leadership team. To support their unique customer service, quality and health and safety philosophy, they now require a dynamic Health and Safety Manager to lead and develop their HSE infrastructure.
Reporting directly to the Managing Director, this role will involve the development of the existing health and safety strategy, as well as supporting the senior management team on the Company’s safety objectives. You should be at the forefront of what’s new in HSE, advising the senior team, implementing new initiatives, and building on existing systems. Your leadership style, professional management and coaching ability will help support employee welfare throughout the business. You will be responsible for:
Strategic health and safety planning and implementation.
Carrying out a continuous gap analysis of existing operational, environmental and health and safety procedures.
Ensuring that all personnel are trained and fully understand the agreed safe systems of work.
Regularly auditing risk assessments and method statements.
Updating the Board on relevant legislative changes.
Overall management of the existing health and safety framework. The successful candidate, supported by the Board, will have overall responsibility for health and safety within the business and will ideally be educated to degree level, although a trades background could also suit this role. A NEBOSH or IOSH qualification is highly desirable. Good communication and written skills are essential. The role would suit an ambitious, energetic professional with a track record in safety management, preferably within the construction, manufacturing, engineering, or utilities industries.
This is a unique opportunity to join one of Scotland’s leading brands, offering fantastic career opportunities and the autonomy to make a real difference within an organisation already committed to growth, service excellence and uncompromising safety standards. Candidates can expect superb job security, ongoing training and career development. Your excellent base salary is supplemented by a solid company pension, healthcare, company vehicle or van and a fuel card and 31 days holiday per year.
