The Opportunity
We’re creating a new Group HSEQ Manager role to lead Health, Safety, Environment and Quality performance across all four of our sites. Reporting to our Technical Director, you’ll take ownership of our HSEQ management system and certifications, lead our internal and external audit programme, and line manage a team of QA Technicians based at our three manufacturing sites. It’s a genuine opportunity to shape how HSEQ is delivered across a growing, century-old British manufacturing business.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Own HSEQ performance and certification (ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001) across all four sites.
- Lead our internal and external audit programme and act as the main point of contact for regulators and certification bodies.
- Line manage and develop our QA Technicians at Ware, Coleford and Cleckheaton.
- Lead investigations into incidents and near misses and drive continuous improvement across the business.
- Maintain and grow accreditations (e.g. CHAS, Constructionline) that support our Sales and Contracting teams.
- Build a strong, consistent safety and quality culture across the group.
