We are supporting a leading UK manufacturing organisation in the search for an experienced Interim SHE Manager to provide immediate leadership at one of its largest operational sites.
This is an excellent opportunity for a senior Health, Safety and Environmental professional who enjoys being visible on site, leading from the front and driving a positive safety culture within a fast-paced, high-risk manufacturing environment.
The contract will initially run to bridge the gap while a permanent appointment is made (initially 3 months).

- Location: East Suffolk. Site-based with some flexibility where appropriate.
- IR35: Inside IR35.
- Rate: GBP 400 - GBP 500 per day (PAYE via Umbrella), negotiable depending on experience.
- Start: Immediate.
The Role
Reporting into the senior leadership team, you will provide operational SHE leadership across a large manufacturing facility with an established safety culture and central SHE support.
Rather than firefighting compliance issues, the focus is on continuing to develop behaviours, engagement and accountability across the site while supporting ongoing improvement projects.
