At Gen Phoenix, we’re transforming waste into premium sustainable materials that power the future of fashion, automotive, and luxury industries.
Our success depends on a culture where innovation, safety, and wellbeing go hand in hand and we’re looking for a passionate Health and Safety Manager to help us lead that mission.

You’ll partner closely with operational and leadership teams, guiding them to make informed, risk-aware decisions while embedding best practice across the organisation. This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced H&S leader ready to influence at a bigger scale, or a high-performing H&S professional stepping into management within a purpose-driven, innovative business.
