About The Role
At Scarborough, we’re looking for someone who goes beyond compliance — someone who can shape culture, influence leaders, and inspire teams they don’t directly manage. Safety is non‑negotiable. This role is about setting the bar across the wider business, embedding a safety mindset so deeply that it becomes instinctive, lived, breathed, and owned by everyone.
What you’ll be doing
You’ll sit at the heart of the site leadership team, influencing thinking, challenging norms, and driving a culture where safety isn’t driven by process but by people. HSE isn’t a function but a culture. The right person will grow into a future Director‑level appointment.
You Will Be Able To
* Influence and coach leaders to take true ownership of safety
* Build belief and accountability across teams you don’t directly lead
* Turn strategy into everyday behaviours on the ground
* Create momentum — where safety is continuously improving, not standing still
* Flex your leadership style to get the best out of our teams and processes
You Will Be Accountable For
* Driving safe working practices and ensuring full legal compliance
* Shaping HSE strategy and influencing policy development
* Leading risk assessments and safe systems of work
* Embedding HSE standards through daily site presence and coaching
* Delivering impactful training and inductions
* Investigating incidents to identify root causes and prevent recurrence
* Leading audits, inspections, and compliance reporting
* Owning ISO 45001 & 14001 systems and audit plans
* Partnering with SLT, HR and Occupational Health on key issues
* Driving continuous improvement through data, insights and scorecards
* Leading emergency preparedness and environmental compliance
What You’ll Need to Be Successful
* NEBOSH General Certificate & National Diploma (essential)
* Environmental qualification (essential)
* Experience within a senior HSE role in manufacturing (7–10 years)
* Knowledge of ISO 45001 (essential) and ISO 14001 (desirable)
* An engineering background and familiarity working within manufacturing environments
* Strong influencing and stakeholder management skills
* An adaptable mindset, an appreciation of the need to adjust your style when the need arises
* Experience in food manufacturing, HACCP or DuPont methodologies (desirable)
Benefits
* An achievable yearly bonus based on personal performance.
* An excellent pension where we will pay double what you do, up to a maximum of 12% of your pay.
* Flexible holidays – where you can buy & sell up to 5 days holiday per year.
* Optional health cash plan.
* Cycle to work scheme.
* ‘Chips In’ Volunteering Day Off – to make a positive impact to the competitiveness, resilience, and long‑term development of McCain communities across the globe.
