EHS Officer

About you

You are an Environmental Health and Safety professional who takes responsibility seriously. You understand that strong EHS leadership protects people, protects the business and creates a culture where standards matter.

You are confident working across a busy manufacturing environment, engaging with operators, supervisors and senior leadership to ensure safety, environmental and compliance standards are always maintained.

You are not someone who sits behind a desk writing policies. You are visible on the shop floor, proactive in identifying risks and committed to building a positive safety culture.

If you are looking for an EHS Officer role where you can genuinely influence safety performance and continuous improvement across a manufacturing facility, this could suit you well.

You have at least three years of experience working within Environmental Health and Safety in a manufacturing or FMCG environment.

You have a strong understanding of EHS regulations, risk management and compliance within an industrial setting.

You hold a relevant degree in Environmental Health and Safety, engineering or a related field and a NEBOSH Diploma.

You are comfortable working with Microsoft Office including Word, Excel and PowerPoint, and can adapt to other systems such as SAP or similar operational platforms.

You are confident communicating with a wide range of people, from shop floor operators through to senior leadership teams.

You are organised, analytical and able to manage multiple responsibilities while maintaining strong attention to detail.

You will develop, implement and continually improve the Environmental Health and Safety management systems across the facility.

You will ensure the business remains compliant with all regulatory requirements and internal EHS standards while promoting safe working practices at every level of the organisation.

You will carry out EHS inspections, assessments and monitoring activities, identifying risks and providing practical recommendations for improvement.

You will lead incident investigations, ensuring root causes are identified and corrective actions are implemented and tracked through to completion.

You will deliver EHS training to employees, contractors and visitors, helping build awareness and accountability across the site.

You will work closely with engineering and operational teams when new equipment or processes are introduced, ensuring safety risks and environmental impact are reduced wherever possible.

You will also support reporting, compliance documentation and performance tracking related to environmental, health and safety metrics.

This is a well established manufacturing facility with a strong operational structure and a clear commitment to Environmental Health and Safety standards.

The site operates with a focus on compliance, sustainability and continuous improvement. The EHS Officer plays a key role in supporting leadership and ensuring safe systems of work are embedded across the organisation.

You will report directly to the Director of Operations and work closely with department managers, engineering teams and production staff to maintain a safe and compliant environment.
