Posted 1 week ago

Are you an experienced QHSE professional ready to take ownership of health, safety, and quality across a technically complex, fast-paced engineering environment?
  
We''re working with a well-established and growing engineering business near Maidstone, Kent, to find a Health & Safety Manager who can lead the function with real autonomy and senior visibility from day one.
  
THE ROLE
Reporting directly into senior leadership, you''ll be responsible for driving a positive safety culture across the business — developing, implementing, and maintaining the company''s QHSE management systems, policies, and procedures.
  
Your responsibilities will include:

  • Leading all health, safety, environment, and quality activity across site operations
  • Owning and maintaining ISO accreditations and internal audit programmes
  • Conducting risk assessments, method statements, and incident investigations
  • Delivering toolbox talks, training sessions, and H&S inductions
  • Acting as the primary point of contact for regulatory bodies and external auditors
  • Championing continuous improvement across all QHSE disciplines
  
WHAT WE''RE LOOKING FOR
�� NEBOSH Diploma or equivalent — essential 
�� Demonstrable QHSE experience, ideally within engineering, manufacturing, utilities, construction, or a similarly complex, regulated environment 
�� A confident communicator — able to influence at all levels, from shop floor to boardroom 
�� A pragmatic, hands-on approach with a genuine passion for driving safety culture 
�� Strong working knowledge of ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and/or ISO 45001 
�� Based within comfortable commuting distance of Maidstone, Kent
  
WHY THIS ONE?
You''ll be joining a business that genuinely values its people and takes its safety obligations seriously — not just on paper. This is a standalone management role with the backing of senior leadership and real scope to make a lasting impact. If you''re looking for somewhere to own the function rather than just maintain it, this is worth a conversation.
