• Coordinating statutory compliance relating to plant, equipment and facilities
• Acting as the primary point of contact for certification bodies, insurers and regulatory authorities

• Promoting a proactive SHEQ culture across the organisation

The role works closely with the Quality Assurance Manager, who retains operational responsibility for EN 1090, CE/UKCA marking, and ISO 3834 welding quality compliance.

We are looking for a credible and commercially aware SHEQ professional with experience in heavy manufacturing, structural steelwork, engineering, and/or construction environments.
