HSEQ Manager
Location: Newport
Salary: £40,000 – £45,000 plus benefits
An excellent opportunity to join a well-established steel manufacturing business with a strong commitment to Health, Safety, Environment and Quality.
I’m partnering with a respected steel manufacturer in Newport to recruit an experienced, hands-on HSEQ Manager. This is a key site-based role offering autonomy, visibility and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact across HSEQ in a heavy industrial setting.
The Opportunity
You’ll act as the site lead for HSEQ, working closely with operational and management teams to embed best practice.
Key Responsibilities (Snapshot)
Lead risk assessments across key manufacturing processes and drive actions to completion
Maintain and develop HSEQ systems aligned to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001
Plan and conduct internal audits and manage corrective actions
Investigate incidents, near misses and hazards, identifying root causes and improvements
Analyse HSEQ data, trends and KPIs to support continuous improvement
Provide practical H&S support to operational and project teams (including rail-related standards)
Deliver in-house H&S training and support the company’s sustainability journey
About You – Essential
Proven HSEQ experience, ideally within manufacturing or heavy industry
NEBOSH and/or IOSH qualified
Qualified and experienced in internal auditing
Strong mathematical and analytical skills
Team-focused, with the ability to lead when required
Practical problem solver with a solutions-led approach
Flexible and adaptable
Confident representing the business and management team
Excellent communication skills
IT literate
Why This Role Stands Out
Strong senior-level commitment to HSEQ
Opportunity to influence and improve site-wide standards
Long-term role with autonomy and responsibility
