Lead Safety. Influence Quality. Drive Operational Excellence.
Are you a passionate HSEQ leader looking to shape culture and make a lasting impact across a manufacturing site?
We're seeking an experienced HSEQ Manager to lead the site's Health, Safety, Environmental and Quality function, with a strong emphasis on Health & Safety. As the visible HSE leader, you'll drive a proactive safety culture, coach managers, promote safe behaviours, and ensure compliance is embedded across operations.
You'll also provide strategic leadership to the Quality function, supporting quality systems, product and process quality through your team while maintaining high standards across the business. This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys being on the shop floor, influencing people, and driving continuous improvement.
The Role

With Health & Safety as your primary focus, you'll lead incident investigations, audits, and risk assessments, coach managers, engage employees, and ensure full legislative compliance while continuously improving the safety culture.
You'll also provide leadership to an established Quality team, maintaining robust systems, meeting customer requirements, and driving ongoing improvement.
Together, you'll ensure the site operates safely, compliantly, and efficiently while consistently delivering high standards to customers.
