You already know how to manage compliance. Are you ready to shape the entire HSE agenda?
If you have worked within a COMAH environment and want a role where your knowledge can influence how a manufacturing site operates, this could be the right next step.
You’ll join a food manufacturing business in Cambridge and take responsibility for its health, safety and environmental performance.
Rather than simply maintaining policies and completing audits, you’ll have the opportunity to improve standards, influence senior managers and build a culture where HSE is treated as part of everyday operations.
What you’ll be doing
You’ll lead the site’s HSE activity and provide practical support to managers and employees across the operation.
Your focus will include:
- Maintaining compliance with health, safety and environmental legislation
- Using your COMAH experience to strengthen process safety and major-hazard controls
- Leading risk assessments, audits and incident investigations
- Identifying root causes and making sure corrective actions are completed
- Supporting emergency planning and response procedures
- Working with managers to improve behaviours and reduce risk
- Monitoring HSE performance and presenting clear improvement plans
- Supporting regulatory visits and external audits
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
This is a visible, site-based position. You’ll need to be comfortable spending time within the operation, speaking with employees and challenging unsafe practices when required.
Is this you?
You’ll need previous HSE management experience within food manufacturing, FMCG, chemicals or another process-led manufacturing environment.
Most importantly, you must have practical experience working with COMAH regulations. This is an essential requirement for the position.

What’s in it for you?
You’ll receive:
- A salary between £55,000 and £65,000
- An annual bonus
- The opportunity to lead HSE performance within a manufacturing environment
- A role where your COMAH and process-safety experience will be genuinely relevant
- The chance to influence standards rather than simply monitor them
