HSEQ Manager (Quality & Process Safety)
LOCATION: Suffolk based but more precise location and site details given upon application.
A UK chemical manufacturer is looking for an HSEQ Manager to take ownership of health, safety and quality across its manufacturing operations. This is an equal split between EHS and Quality, with environmental compliance alongside.
It's an old-school, hands-on manufacturing plant with ATEX zoned areas. The role suits someone who is happiest out on the plant rather than behind a desk: walking the site, working closely with production and engineering, understanding the process, and driving improvements through the teams around them.
Health & Safety
- Own the site safety management system and ISO 45001
- Lead DSEAR risk assessments and maintain hazardous area classification and ATEX compliance
- Take part in HAZOP studies and plant design reviews, identifying process risk and agreeing mitigations
- Manage Permit to Work and Management of Change for plant modifications
- Lead incident investigations and root cause analysis, and drive remedial actions through production and engineering teams
- Build a visible, engaged safety culture on the shop floor
