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.
