With eight core product categories, underpinned by expert design and technical services, we work with architects, builders, merchants and the wider construction supply chain to build the face of Britain.

To support our progress, we are currently recruiting for a Health, Safety and Environmental Coordinator to come and join our team at our Thornley factory in Durham.
This is a varied role with no two days the same. From supporting on writing risk assessments; contractor management; participating in audits and inductions to incident investigation - managing SHE KPIs such as safety concern and actions close out.
The role requires a good level of engagement with employees at all levels including feeding valuable information into daily and weekly management meetings and spending time on the production lines to understand the process; although some of the role will require admin a good portion of the day will be spent hands on.
The role will give plenty of exposure to group functions and involves the implementation of group projects at site level in line with business targets.
Specific responsibilities include:
