About the Role
Join a forward-thinking manufacturing business where attitude is valued as much as experience. We're looking for a hands-on, resilient EHS specialist to empower teams and drive health, safety, and environmental improvements on the shop floor.
Key Responsibilities
* Support and maintain the Health, Safety & Environmental (HSE) management systems
* Ensure compliance with ISO 14001 & ISO 45001 and all relevant legislation
* Deliver EHS inductions, training, and guidance across all operational areas
* Lead risk assessments and incident investigations
* Collaborate with operators and shop floor teams to embed a safety-first culture
* Monitor and reduce utility consumption in line with sustainability initiatives
* Work closely with the Facilities Management team to ensure legal compliance
* Provide monthly HSE metrics and reporting
The skills and experience we are looking for:
* A minimum of 5 years’ experience in HSE (ideally within aerospace, automotive or manufacturing)
* NEBOSH Certificate or equivalent
* Strong working knowledge of ISO standards (14001 & 45001)
* Excellent people skills – approachable, supportive, and collaborative
* Resilience and the ability to influence shop floor operators
* A mindset of continuous improvement
* A hands-on presence – this is not a desk-based role
* You don’t manage people, but you must work well with all
* A mindset of “how can I help?” – not “that’s not my job”
* Attitude matters most – we value positivity, initiative, and collaboration
