Health, Safety & Environmental Manager (12-Month FTC)
Location: Blackpool | Salary: Up to £50,000
This isn't a steady-state role ..... it's a turnaround mission.
We're looking for a hands-on HSE professional who knows how to step into a manufacturing environment, quickly assess what's not working, and drive real, lasting change. This is a low-risk manufacturing site with huge potential, but it needs the right leader to reset standards, rebuild confidence, and embed a proactive safety culture.
If you've successfully transformed an underperforming HSE function before, this is your chance to do it again, with full visibility and impact.
Why This Role Stands Out
Own the turnaround - take a site that needs direction and shape a high-performing HSE function
Make an immediate impact - your expertise will influence behaviours, systems, and leadership from day one
Be visible and hands-on - not a desk role; you'll be on the floor driving change where it matters
Work with leadership - act as the trusted advisor, challenging and guiding senior stakeholders
What You'll Be Doing
Take full ownership of resetting and rebuilding the HSE function
Rapidly assess current gaps and implement practical, effective improvements
Drive compliance with UK legislation, ISO14001 and ISO45001 - but go beyond compliance to create a culture shift
Be a constant presence on-site, coaching, influencing, and holding teams accountable
Lead on incident management, RIDDOR reporting, and performance metrics, using data to drive decisions
Deliver engaging, no-nonsense training that changes behaviours - not just ticks boxes
Partner with leadership to embed clear standards, structure, and accountability
What We Need From You
Proven experience turning around an HSE function within a manufacturing environment (this is essential)
NEBOSH Diploma (or equivalent) with strong working knowledge of UK HSE legislation and ISO standards
A hands-on, sleeves-rolled-up approach - you lead from the front
The confidence to challenge, influence, and drive change at all levels
Strong organisational skills with the ability to prioritise in a fast-moving environment
Available immediately or at very short notice
What You'll Gain
A role where you can see the difference you're making every day
Full ownership to implement change without red tape
