Health & Safety Manager (12-Month Fixed Term Contract)
Location: London Bridge (with travel)
Salary: £60,000 - £65,000 + Benefits
Contract: Fixed Term Contract – 12 Months
About the Opportunity
We are recruiting on behalf of our client, a leading organisation that delivers some of the UK's most recognised and prestigious mass participation events. They are seeking an experienced Health & Safety Manager to join their team on a 12-month fixed-term contract.
This is an exciting opportunity for a health and safety professional with a strong events background to work across a diverse portfolio of event operations, supporting partner organisations and subsidiary businesses to develop, implement and enhance their health and safety systems and culture.
The role requires regular travel to Wales and Scotland, where two subsidiary businesses are based.
The Role
Reporting to the Head of Health, Safety & Security, and working closely with colleagues across the Optimisation and Workspace & Properties teams, you will develop strong relationships with partner and subsidiary stakeholders, helping them strengthen their health and safety systems and practices while reviewing performance against existing audit findings.
Although the primary focus is event safety, you will also support subsidiary businesses in managing health and safety across corporate and facilities environments, as well as warehousing and logistics operations.
