Health & Safety Advisor

Position: Health & Safety Advisor (Permanent)
A fantastic opportunity has arisen for a Health & Safety Advisor to join our manufacturing client based in Stirling

This is not a desk-based compliance role. We’re looking for someone visible, hands-on, and confident on the shop floor — someone who can work alongside operators, engineers, and managers to genuinely strengthen safety culture and standards.

You’ll report directly to the Business Unit Manager and play a key role in driving continuous improvement across a busy manufacturing environment.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

Developing, reviewing, and improving Safe Systems of Work (SSoW)

Leading and maintaining comprehensive risk assessments (COSHH, Manual Handling, DSEAR)

Embedding safety-critical procedures into operational SOPs

Delivering inductions for new starters, contractors, and visitors

Coordinating and delivering specialist training (LOTO, working at height, chemical safety)

Conducting regular audits and site inspections

Supporting practical solutions to H&S concerns

Tracking and reporting KPIs (near misses, accident rates, training compliance)

Supporting thorough root cause investigations

What We’re Looking For

NEBOSH General Certificate (Level
3) or equivalent – essential

3–5 years’ H&S experience within manufacturing or heavy industry

Comfortable working directly with teams on the shop floor

Strong communicator who can influence at all levels

Experience writing SSoW and detailed risk assessments

Familiarity with digital safety management systems

A proactive mindset and genuine drive to improve workplace safety

What’s On Offer

Competitive salary: £35,000–£40,000 (depending on experience)

40-hour week, dayshift

31 days holiday (including statutory days)

Pension: 3.5% employee contribution / 7% employer contribution

The opportunity to make a real impact in a high-performing manufacturing environment
