Job Description:

If you're an experienced HSE / SHE / Health & Safety professional in the food manufacturing world, this is the kind of role that doesn't come around often-one where you're not just maintaining standards but shaping the future of a thriving business. Picture this: a fast-paced, FMCG environment where the leadership team genuinely values Health & Safety as a driver of performance, culture, and employee wellbeing. A place where you're not a box-ticking auditor-you're the person the Site Lead and wider site leadership turn to for guidance, improvement, and transformation. This business is continuing to grow and invest and they're now looking for a hands-on, forward-thinking Health & Safety Manager who wants to be visible on the shop floor, influence teams, and elevate standards across HSE. If you enjoy being the ambassador for change, empowering colleagues, and building safer, smarter, and more compliant manufacturing operations, this could be the next step you've been waiting for.

Job Responsibility:

Maintain a strong, approachable HSE presence-being visible, supportive, and hands-on
Ensure PPE, testing, maintenance, and occupational health provisions are up to standard
Work closely with Engineering to ensure compliance around PSSR, LOLER, ATEX/DSEAR, PAT/FAT testing, emergency lighting, fire systems and more
Support emergency response and first aid (training provided where required)
Strengthen safe working practices through partnership, coaching, and collaboration
Ensure contractors operate safely with robust RAMS and compliance processes
Deliver compliance reviews, facility audits, risk assessments and improvement plans
Manage HS&E documentation and reporting
Drive policy improvements and implement new HSE initiatives
Lead regular HS&E meetings, encouraging open reporting and involvement across all teams
Keep the business aligned with evolving H&S legislation while developing your CPD
Guide managers to understand and uphold their legal responsibilities
Play a key role in developing the site's long-term safety strategy
Deliver toolbox talks, monthly training sessions, and behaviour-based safety initiatives
Support competency development across operational teams and influence through education

Requirements:

IOSH / NEBOSH
2+ years in HS&E within FMCG-ideally food manufacturing
Strong accident investigation and risk assessment experience
Practical, common-sense approach to H&S with strong problem-solving ability
Confident communicator, able to influence at all levels
Organised, proactive, tech-literate, and able to work independently or as part of a team
Willingness to work flexibly to support the needs of the sites

What we offer:

Genuine progression opportunities as the business grows
A role with influence, autonomy, and visibility-not a desk-based function
A leadership team that values collaboration, integrity, and continuous improvement
The chance to leave a real legacy on safety culture across two important sites
