Are you ready to lead meaningful change in workplace safety?
Assured Safety Recruitment is partnering with a respected UK manufacturing group to find a Health, Safety & Environment (HSE) Manager for their high-volume production facility in Middlesbrough.

As part of the Site Leadership Team, you’ll take the lead on HSE strategy, supported by a dedicated Health, Safety and Environment Advisor. The role calls for someone who can combine strategic thinking with hands-on leadership—someone who can engage teams, influence behaviours, and drive continuous improvement in health, safety, and environmental standards.

Drive continuous improvement in HSE performance across all departments
Lead internal and external audits to maintain high standards
Oversee emergency preparedness and contractor/visitor safety procedures

Mentor the SHE Advisor and lead the SHE Committee for effective governance
What We’re Looking For
Proven experience leading HSE strategy in a large manufacturing or industrial setting
Strong communication and engagement skills across all levels of the business
A proactive, visible leader who can influence culture and behaviours
Ideally holds a Level 6 Diploma (or equivalent) in Health & Safety—or actively working towards it
Solid understanding of technical and legislative risk management
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a forward-thinking organisation with a genuine commitment to safety, wellbeing, and operational excellence
