Group HSEQ Manager

We’re creating a new Group HSEQ Manager role to lead Health, Safety, Environment and Quality performance across all four of our sites. Reporting to our Technical Director, you’ll take ownership of our HSEQ management system and certifications, lead our internal and external audit programme, and line manage a team of QA Technicians based at our three manufacturing sites. It’s a genuine opportunity to shape how HSEQ is delivered across a growing, century-old British manufacturing business.

• Own HSEQ performance and certification (ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001) across all four sites.
• Lead our internal and external audit programme and act as the main point of contact for regulators and certification bodies.
• Line manage and develop our QA Technicians at Ware, Coleford and Cleckheaton.
• Lead investigations into incidents and near misses and drive continuous improvement across the business.
• Maintain and grow accreditations (e.g. CHAS, Construction line) that support our Sales and Contracting teams.
• Build a strong, consistent safety and quality culture across the group.

• Minimum 5 years’ experience in Quality and Health, Safety & Environment management, ideally including experience leading a team.
• Experience of leading a HSEQ team and driving improvements in HSEQ across a company.
• Experience in manufacturing, engineering or project-based environments — a steel or welding background is a plus.
• NEBOSH National General Certificate (essential); NEBOSH National Diploma preferred.
• Comfortable working across multiple sites, with a full UK driving licence.

• Salary: We will offer a competitive salary depending on the experience in the range from £55,000 to £65,000.
• Hours: 37.5 hours a week, to be worked flexibly according to the need for travel within the UK.
• Company Pension Scheme
• Company Car/ Car Allowance
• Location: At our Head Office in Ware, Hertfordshire (preferred) or one of our other three sites around the country (Coleford, Cleckheaton or Richmond), plus a need to visit all sites on a regular basis (once per month or as otherwise needed).
