• Supporting continuous improvement initiatives (Lean / Six Sigma)
• Acting as the key contact for HSE and regulatory bodies
• Leading investigations, risk assessments, and implementation of safe working practices
• Delivering QHSE training across the business
• Managing and developing the QHSE team
• Reporting performance and key metrics to senior leadership
To be a success, you will need:
• NEBOSH qualified (or equivalent)
• Strong experience across Quality, Health, Safety and Environmental within manufacturing
• Proven track record of managing and improving QHSE systems
• Experience with ISO standards (ISO9001, AS9100 etc.)
• Strong communication skills with the ability to influence at all levels
• Hands-on approach with the ability to balance strategy and delivery
• Internal audit experience
• Full UK driving licence and flexibility to travel (including occasional international travel)
