Osprey Engineering Solutions are recruiting a Health & Safety Manager on behalf of a well-established, leading supplier within the compressed air industry for industrial environments.

This is a hands-on, H&S leadership role for an experienced safety professional who is equally comfortable working at a strategic level and engaging with engineers, technicians, and operational teams on a day-to-day basis. The business operates across both engineering and service environments, so a background in engineering, manufacturing, or a technical industrial setting is essential.

Responsibilities

* Lead and manage all health, safety, and environmental (HSE) activity across the business

* Develop, implement, and continuously improve H&S management systems, policies, and procedures in line with current legislation

* Ensure compliance with ISO 14001 (Environmental Management) and support the maintenance and improvement of environmental management practices

* Conduct and review risk assessments, method statements (RAMS), and safe systems of work across all operational activities

* Investigate accidents, incidents, and near misses — identifying root causes and implementing corrective actions

* Deliver H&S inductions, toolbox talks, and ongoing training to staff across engineering, technical, and operational functions

* Carry out regular site audits and inspections across multiple locations

* Liaise with external bodies including the HSE, insurers, and certification bodies

* Monitor legislative changes and ensure the business remains fully compliant

* Produce regular H&S reports and KPI dashboards for senior management

Requirements

* NEBOSH National General Certificate as a minimum — essential.

* Proven H&S management experience within an engineering, manufacturing, or technical industrial environment

* Familiarity with ISO 14001 Environmental Management Systems — experience within an ISO-certified business is highly desirable

* Experience producing RAMS, conducting risk assessments, and leading incident investigations

* Strong communicator — able to engage credibly with engineers, technicians, and senior leadership

* Self-motivated and capable of managing H&S autonomously across a multi-site operation

* Full UK driving licence required
