At Planteria Group, we help organisations reimagine their workplaces, making them more productive, healthy, and sustainable. From creating warm, welcoming reception areas to designing large‑scale living architecture, we turn ordinary spaces into vibrant places where people genuinely love to be.
We’ve grown from a small family business into the UK’s leading interior landscaping specialist, transforming workplaces and commercial environments with the power of nature, to international expansion with operations in the US. Along the way, we’ve partnered with some of the UKs, and now US’s most recognisable brands to bring biophilic design to life, from lush office greenery and elegant corporate floristry to spectacular roof gardens and living walls.
Our success is driven by a fantastic team of 180 employees internationally, and we’re continuing to expand. We’re now looking for passionate individuals to join us on this journey and help us shape the future of sustainable, inspiring workplace design.

* Lead and champion a Behavioural Based Safety (BBS) approach grounded in positive reinforcement, engagement, and shared accountability.
* Maintain and continually evolve our ISO 45001 H&S Management System to support the needs of a fast‑growing, dynamic organisation.
* Drive the identification and management of psychosocial risks, including stress, fatigue, and mental health, ensuring modern safety challenges are proactively addressed.
* Oversee incident Learning Reviews, shifting the focus from blame to systemic improvement and organisational learning.

* Oversee the HSS standards of Managed Portfolios & Partners, ensuring alignment with our People First expectations through audits, governance, and joint learning.
* Contribute to the delivery of our Sustainability and ESG roadmap, helping embed environmentally responsible practices and social value across the workforce.
You will be a great fit if you have:
* A hands‑on nature and willing to deliver operational safety tasks alongside strategic initiatives, recognising that our size requires both.
* Strong knowledge across Health, Safety, and Environmental practices, with the confidence to navigate both traditional HSE requirements and modern safety thinking.
* Experience engaging with large corporate clients, understanding their expectations, pressures, and ESG agendas.
* Motivation to drive significant positive change, helping us evolve into an industry‑leading organisation in safety, sustainability, and partner engagement.
* An understanding of client drivers beyond cost, including value‑add, service quality, ESG alignment, and how safety and sustainability directly influence their own objectives.
* The ability to influence suppliers and partners to uphold consistent standards, ensuring we demonstrate value across our entire delivery chain.
* A modern view of safety that includes psychological wellbeing, mental health awareness, and building trust across every level of the organisation.
