Senior Manager, EHSS Moreton

At Bristol Myers Squibb, our employees often ask, “Who are you working for?”—a question that fuels collaboration, accountability, and urgency in our work. Our purpose-driven culture inspires us to discover, develop, and deliver innovative medicines to prevail over serious diseases. We offer uniquely interesting and meaningful work, opportunities for growth, and a supportive environment that values inclusion, wellbeing, flexibility, and comprehensive benefits. This is work that transforms the lives of patients, and the careers of those who do it.

You've built the expertise. Now put it to work where it genuinely matters. After a decade or more in EHS, you know the difference between a role that sounds significant and one that actually is. You're not looking for a title - you're looking for real delivery ownership, a team that values what you bring and a place where your experience translates into meaningful outcomes for real people.

At Bristol Myers Squibb, we're looking for a Senior Manager, EHSS to join our Moreton, UK site - a hands-on, programme-owning role that sits within a collaborative EHSS leadership structure and puts you at the forefront of delivery across some of the most critical areas of site safety. Reporting into the Director of Site Operations & EHS with a close working relationship with the Associate Director, EHS, Moreton, who is responsible for the delivery of the defined EHS Strategy, you'll work within a clearly defined and well-supported framework: the AD EHS holds overall responsibility for the EHS strategy delivery and you will hold genuine delivery responsibility for the programmes that bring that strategy to life.

You’ll have the strategic backing and senior cover to focus on what you do best: executing, improving and driving real outcomes. No ambiguity about your remit. No trying to do everything alone. Just focused, high-impact delivery with strong leadership around you.

Where your expertise will make an impact

• COSHH & Chemical Safety — you'll own this end to end. You’ll be responsible for the site COSHH compliance programme, ensuring robust chemical risk management, effective governance and ongoing regulatory compliance. With your strong understanding of chemical safety and occupational health, you’ll be the subject matter authority that colleagues and the wider EHSS team rely on.
• Safety Culture — you'll move it forward, not just monitor it. As Chair of the Site Safety Culture Group, your role here goes far beyond facilitation. You’ll drive initiatives that genuinely shift how people engage with safety - building ownership at all levels and continuing to move the site from compliance-as-habit to safety-as-conviction.
• Risk Assessment — you'll shape how the site understands its risks. You’ll be responsible for the evolution of the site-wide risk assessment programme - from development and implementation through to review and governance.
• Training Framework — you'll build the system that keeps people competent and safe. Owning the site EHSS training framework and matrix means you’re responsible for making sure mandatory safety training, competency assessments and compliance requirements are not just met, but meaningfully delivered.
• SOPs & Governance — you'll be the standard-bearer for how things are done. Responsible for the management and governance of EHSS procedures and SOPs, you’ll ensure the documentary backbone of site safety remains current, compliant and fit for purpose.
• Emergency Preparedness — you'll be ready before anyone else needs to be. From developing and implementing Emergency Response Plans to testing and continuous improvement, you’ll take responsibility for the work that ensures the site is prepared for the unexpected.
• Workplace Inspections — you'll make sure standards are seen, not just set. You’ll develop, implement, and maintain the workplace inspection programme - scheduling, communicating, and embedding inspection culture across the site.
• Data & Performance — you'll turn numbers into safer outcomes. Analysing EHSS data to understand site performance trends and drive improvement isn’t a reporting task here - it's a leadership one.
• Day-to-Day EHSS Leadership — flexible, responsive, trusted. You’ll direct the day-to-day resolution of technical, scientific and operational challenges under your remit, working closely with the Associate Director EHSS on complex or high-impact risk areas.

What You Bring

• 10+ years of EHS experience in a regulated manufacturing, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, laboratory, or industrial environment
• A degree in EHS, Science, Engineering, Occupational Hygiene, or a related field
• NEBOSH Diploma or equivalent Level 6 qualification preferred - NEBOSH General Certificate as a minimum
• Chartered status with IOSH, IEMA, or BOHS, or actively working towards it
• Solid knowledge of ISO 45001 and ISO 14001 management systems
• Strong knowledge of UK health, safety and environmental legislation
• Proven experience in incident investigation, root cause analysis, and corrective action management
• Hands‑on experience with EHSS management systems, training platforms, and document control
• A genuine track record of influencing culture and driving behavioural change across diverse audiences

What This Role Gives Back To You

• Clarity of ownership - You'll know exactly what you're responsible for.
• Global standards, local impact - Your work will align to BMS Global Standards and internationally recognised management systems.
• A role that strengthens your professional profile - The breadth of your delivery remit here is the kind of comprehensive senior portfolio that accelerates progression towards the most senior EHS roles in the industry.
• Strong leadership above and around you – Despite the direct line management rolling up to the Director of Site Operations & EHS, you'll indirectly report into an experienced AD EHS Lead.
• The context your skills were built for - BMS Moreton is a regulated, complex, and scientifically driven site.

We hire for skills and capabilities, not just credentials – if this role excites you, but doesn’t perfectly match your resume, we encourage you to apply anyway.
