You already know how to manage compliance. Are you ready to shape the entire HSE agenda?
If you have worked within a COMAH environment and want a role where your knowledge can influence how a manufacturing site operates, this could be the right next step.
You'll join a food manufacturing business in Cambridge and take responsibility for its health, safety and environmental performance. Rather than simply maintaining policies and completing audits, you'll have the opportunity to improve standards, influence senior managers and build a culture where HSE is treated as part of everyday operations.
What you'll be doing:
- Leading the site's HSE activity and providing practical support to managers and employees across the operation.
- Maintaining compliance with health, safety and environmental legislation.
- Using your COMAH experience to strengthen process safety and major-hazard controls.
- Leading risk assessments, audits and incident investigations.
- Identifying root causes and making sure corrective actions are completed.
- Supporting emergency planning and response procedures.
- Working with managers to improve behaviours and reduce risk.
- Monitoring HSE performance and presenting clear improvement plans.
- Supporting regulatory visits and external audits.
This is a visible, site-based position. You'll need to be comfortable spending time within the operation, speaking with employees and challenging unsafe practices when required.
Is this you?
You'll need previous HSE management experience within food manufacturing, FMCG, chemicals or another process-led manufacturing environment. Most importantly, you must have practical experience working with COMAH regulations. This is an essential requirement for the position.
You should also have a recognised health and safety qualification, such as a NEBOSH Diploma or equivalent, and the confidence to influence people at every level of a manufacturing business.
What's in it for you?
- A salary between £55,000 and £65,000.
- An annual bonus.
- The opportunity to lead HSE performance within a manufacturing environment.
- A role where your COMAH and process-safety experience will be genuinely relevant.
- The chance to influence standards rather than simply monitor them.
