SHE Manager Cambridgeshire Up to 50,000 The good news is that our client takes EHS seriously. Not in the way businesses say they take it seriously in a job ad. In the way where they've invested in the certifications, built the management systems, and need someone credible enough to host a regulatory visit without breaking into a sweat. You'll be the lead EHS presence on site. That means owning the risk assessment register, managing the incident management system, running the audit cycle, and being the person who stands up in front of the HSE when they show up unannounced. If any of that sounds like new territory, this probably isn't for you. The role has real scope. You'll be benchmarking against best practice, contributing to continuous improvement projects, and coaching the wider site team on EHS culture. There's a Head of EHS you'll work alongside, which means you'll have support but also accountability. What they're looking for is someone with a solid grounding in ISO45001 and ISO14001, a NEBOSH Certificate at minimum, and experience in a manufacturing or similarly regulated environment. You'll also need to be a decent communicator. Not just on paper. Actually decent. The kind of person who can hold a room with a front-line operative or a senior stakeholder. This role is focused on being a real people person! If you want to have a proper conversation about it before deciding whether to apply, that's fine. Get in touch. Send whatever version of your CV you have. Everyone gets a response.
