EHS Manager – Temporary Contract
If you like to come in and make a difference, then this one's for you!
Location: Hertfordshire
Contract: 6 months initially, potential extension
Working pattern: Monday–Friday, flexible hours
Day rate: Around £450 per day (inside IR35 PAYE via umbrella)
The Role
We are looking for an experienced EHS professional / EHS Manager to support a medium-sized manufacturing site in Hertfordshire.
The initial contract will be 6 months, with a good chance of extension. We're looking to bring someone in on contract who can stabilise the site, address the current backlog and make a clear impact.
This is a hands-on management position with responsibility for the site's day-to-day EHS performance. You will have an EHS Advisor reporting directly to you, so you will need to be confident managing, delegating, and providing direction while remaining close to the operational detail.
About the Site
The site is a medium-sized manufacturing facility producing a variety of mainly cement and sand-based products.
There are 100+ employees working across operations, alongside a larger office-based population.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The site is currently in need of additional EHS support and structure. This includes external audits, environmental requirements, risk assessments, COSHH assessments, and machine assessments.
The immediate priority will be to understand what needs to be addressed, establish clear priorities, and then make sure the required actions are completed. You will have the opportunity to make a visible difference to the site and help move it towards becoming a flagship operation.
About You
You will have a strong manufacturing EHS background and be comfortable operating at both a strategic and practical level.
We are particularly interested in professionals with experience in:
- Manufacturing environments
- Chemical safety
- Bulk chemical storage
- COSHH
- Risk assessments
- Machinery / machine assessments
- External audits
- Environmental compliance
- ISO 14001
- Permitted sites, particularly Part A and Part B
You will need to be highly organised and confident in prioritising a busy workload, as there are a number of areas requiring attention. Strong people skills are important, as you will be responsible for managing and working with the EHS Advisor while working closely with the wider operational team.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You should be someone who can assess a situation, identify what genuinely needs to be done, create a practical plan, and then drive that plan through to completion.
Working Hours
This is primarily a day-based role, with flexibility around working hours depending on your circumstances.
The site operates a three-shift pattern, but there is no regular requirement for the EHS professional to work nights. Occasional out-of-hours support may be required in the event of an incident.

- Initial 6-month contract
