Group Health and Safety Manager

Group Health and Safety Manager £55,000 £ 60,000 Multi-Site

Want a Health & Safety role where you can actually make things happen?

This could be the one.

We re looking for an experienced Health & Safety Manager to take ownership of H&S across a growing manufacturing group, working across multiple UK sites and partnering with managers and teams to make safety a genuine part of everyday operations.

This isn't a role where you'll spend your days buried in paperwork. You'll be out in the business, spotting risks, solving problems, improving standards and influencing people with the freedom to challenge where needed and make a tangible difference.

What you will be doing:

• Take ownership of H&S standards across multiple engineering sites
• Carry out audits, inspections and risk assessments to identify opportunities for improvement
• Keep RAMS, policies and procedures practical, effective and compliant
• Manage contractor controls and permit-to-work systems
• Oversee higher-risk activities including hot works and confined spaces
• Lead investigations into incidents and near misses, getting to the root cause rather than simply ticking a box
• Help maintain ISO 45001 and ISO 14001 systems
• Work alongside managers and employees to raise safety awareness and accountability
• Provide practical advice on H&S legislation and best practice
• Build strong relationships across the business and confidently challenge when something isn't right

What we are looking for:

Someone who knows their H&S inside out but equally importantly, knows how to bring people with them.

You'll ideally have:

• Proven H&S management experience
• A background in engineering and/or construction or a similarly hands-on environment
• NEBOSH Diploma or equivalent essential
• Strong knowledge of UK H&S legislation
• Experience with ISO 45001 / ISO 14001
• Confidence to influence, challenge and advise at all levels
• A practical, proactive and solutions-focused mindset
• The resilience and flexibility to work across multiple sites

What's in it for you:

• Competitive annual leave allowance
• Company pension
• Flexible employee benefits
• Health and wellbeing support
• Employee discount opportunities
• Support for professional development
• Clear opportunities to progress
• Supportive working environment

If you're looking for a role where you're trusted to take ownership, given the opportunity to influence change and aren't afraid to get out from behind the desk, this could be a fantastic next step.
