Do you enjoy standing in front of a team and making safety training stick?
This is a chance to build health and safety from scratch at a brand-new manufacturing facility in Ellesmere Port as Health & Safety Officer (NEBOSH). The factory is being commissioned now, and the team is growing fast.

Health & Safety Officer (NEBOSH) – the role:
You'll be the site's H&S specialist and its main safety trainer. You'll design and deliver training for employees and contractors, and coach operators, supervisors and managers on the factory floor.

Your focus is practical compliance, a positive safety culture and continuous improvement in a modern manufacturing environment.

H&S training and coaching
Lead, support and deliver all relevant H&S training to employees and contractors, including manual handling, accident and incident reporting, emergency procedures, risk assessment, inductions, toolbox talks and safety briefings.
Coach operators, supervisors and managers so they can lead safety in their own teams.
Keep training records accurate and up to date, and spot skills gaps as the site grows.
Safety management system
Develop, implement and continuously improve the site's H&S management system, policies, procedures and safe systems of work.
Support compliance with the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and related regulations (PUWER, LOLER, COSHH, DSEAR, manual handling, working at height, fire safety), plus ISO 45001 requirements.
