HSE Recruitment are working with a Global manufacturing business who are seeking a European Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) Manager to join their business, supporting the aftermarket operations.

The role reports into the Safety Director based in Germany and although there are no direct reports, there are boots on the ground in the European Regions to lean upon.

The successful candidate will be commutable to their Buckingham office but this role will also be responsible for operations at their engineering facilities at a second UK site, in Germany and in the Netherlands. As such regular travel is required and essential for this role, this is not a job that can be done from behind a desk.

This role is a supporting role, the business leaders on each site have the day to day responsibility for H&S, the manager is there to advise and guide. The business has moved away from the staff asking, ‘why do we have to do things this way’ to ‘how can we do it’ and it is this person’s role to show and guide them.

Responsibilities:

• Responsible for the implementation of all legal and internal company EH&S regulations as well as constant monitoring of their compliance
• Conducting and improving safety audits as part of the company safety management system
• Regulating the framework conditions for a safe working environment for the responsible regions
• Act as contact person for local management and employees on the topics of safety at work, accident prevention, health and environmental protection
• Report on the safety performance of each site as per global reporting scheme
• Continuous development of the company's health and safety management system

What we are looking for:

• Someone who is happy to do the travelling across the 2 (soon to be 3 European sites)- face time is absolutely essential for this role to be a success.
• A hands on H&S professional with experience managing an EHS function- someone who can drive change and establish good practice.
• Someone who is experienced with different cultures, understands the challenges that poses and has proven experience of improving H&S in this capacity.
• It would be an advantage if you could speak basic German.
• Industries that will cross over well including broad manufacturing and engineering, but strong LOLER experience is essential.

Salary is between £60-70,000 plus package.

If you feel your experience matches what we are looking for an you are excited by the prospect of international travel, please reach out on 0121 454 5000 or aisling.reid@hserecruitment.co.uk
