About the Role
Manpower are currently seeking an interim SHE Support, to work with our global FMCG client, The Magnum Ice Cream Company, renowned for brands such as Ben & Jerry’s, Cornetto, Solero & Walls, and become an integral part of their fast-paced FMCG environment.
The position is based at our client's Research & Development facility, at Colworth Science Park, in Sharnbrook, Bedfordshire (MK44), accessible by car.
This is a full-time temporary role to run for 6 months, requiring 37.5 hours per week, Monday to Friday. Compensation for this role is competitive, paying up to £53,000 per annum, pro rata, depending upon experience.
The ice cream processing team at Colworth is seeking an experienced Safety, Health and Environment professional to provide temporary support within the global innovation centre of The Magnum Ice Cream Company.
Reporting to the Manufacturing & Engineering Manager, you will act as the primary contact for TMICC safety, health and environmental matters at Colworth. This is a hands-on role requiring someone who can work autonomously, make informed decisions and take ownership of site SHE priorities.
The immediate focus will be split between practical SHE support and audit readiness, including reviewing documentation, identifying gaps and ensuring appropriate controls are in place.
Experience within FMCG or an R&D environment would be advantageous; however, candidates with strong SHE experience gained within other manufacturing, engineering or operational environments will also be considered.
