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.

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 rightWhat 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 sitesWhat'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 environmentREADY FOR YOUR NEXT MOVE?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.
