About the Role
Tower Transit, part of the Kelsian Group, is a leading UK bus operator undergoing a period of significant growth. As we actively pursue new bus franchise contracts and M&A opportunities across the UK, we are seeking a dedicated Health, Safety & Environmental Manager to take full ownership of our HSE function in Merseyside.
Reporting directly to the Managing Director, this is a standalone role where you will be responsible for driving a strong safety culture, ensuring regulatory compliance, and managing our environmental obligations across all operational sites. This is a hands-on, high-impact position suited to someone who thrives in a fast-paced, shift-based operational environment.
Key Responsibilities
• Health & Safety Compliance: Develop, implement, and maintain health and safety policies and procedures in line with current legislation and best practice across all Tower Transit operations.
• Environmental Management: Oversee environmental compliance obligations, supporting the business in meeting its sustainability and regulatory commitments.
• Incident Management: Lead on the investigation of accidents, incidents, and near-misses, ensuring robust root cause analysis and corrective actions are implemented.
• Training & Awareness: Deliver and coordinate HSE training programmes to embed a safety-first culture throughout the workforce.
• Audit & Reporting: Conduct regular site audits and produce clear, actionable reports for senior leadership on HSE performance.
• Stakeholder Engagement: Act as the primary point of contact for regulatory bodies, insurers, and external auditors on all HSE matters.
About You
• NEBOSH qualified (essential).
• IEMA or equivalent environmental qualification (desired but not essential).
• Proven experience in a similar HSE role, ideally within transportation, logistics, manufacturing, or another fast-paced operational environment.
• Strong working knowledge of UK health and safety legislation and environmental regulations.
• A practical, solutions-focused approach with the ability to engage and influence at all levels of the business.
• Self-motivated and comfortable operating as the subject matter expert in a standalone capacity.
