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.
This is a practical, hands-on position where you will take ownership of the day-to-day EHS requirements across the site, supporting employees and working closely with the Operations Manager to maintain standards and drive improvements.
The site has a good culture and a hands-on Operations Manager, and there are no direct reports within the role. You will therefore need to be comfortable working independently, identifying what needs to be done and taking action without needing significant direction.
About The Site
The site is a relatively small and straightforward manufacturing environment, producing cement-based products.
There are approximately 50–60 employees across the wider Scottish operation, with around 30 employees based within the factory, alongside additional employees involved in areas such as training.
The site is not a highly complex manufacturing environment, but there are ongoing opportunities to improve EHS standards and environmental performance. You will have the opportunity to make a tangible impact by identifying areas for improvement and seeing them through to completion.

About You
You will ideally have experience working within a manufacturing environment and be confident managing practical, day-to-day EHS responsibilities.
Experience In The Following Areas Would Be Particularly Useful
- Workplace transport
- Hazardous chemicals
- Occupational health and hygiene
- Silica/silicate exposure
- Environmental management
- ISO 14001
- ISO 45001
- ISO 9001
The site is a permitted site, so experience with environmental compliance and ISO 14001 would be particularly beneficial.
You will be someone who is practical, proactive, and comfortable working independently. Rather than simply identifying issues, you will be expected to take ownership, put solutions in place, and follow improvements through to completion.
Working Hours
The site operates Monday–Friday, with no regular night or weekend working.
Standard hours are broadly 9am–5pm, although there is flexibility around working hours.
