COMPLIANCE MANAGER

Speyside

Permanent | Up to £60,000

NT Highland are delighted to be supporting their new client who are a prominent name in Scotch Whisky with numerous growing brands and very exciting projects undergoing with the business being at a pivotal moment. 

And at the heart of making sure all of it is done properly, safely and compliantly - that's where this role sits.

THE ROLE

This is a broad, senior compliance position covering the full HSEQ and HMRC compliance agenda across 2 distilleries and estate operations. You will work closely with senior leadership to embed a genuine culture of compliance across a fast-moving, ambitious business.

You'll inherit a strong foundation built by an exceptional outgoing Compliance Manager. The expectation is that you maintain that standard - and build on it.

Beyond that:

• Minimum 5 years in a compliance, HSEQ or related role in an industrial or operational environment
• Drinks or food manufacturing background ideal - process or manufacturing industry with COMAH exposure strongly considered
• Strong working knowledge of H&S, environmental management, HMRC obligations and quality systems
• ISO 9001 implementation experience highly desirable
• NEBOSH qualification - required for this role
• IEMA or IRM certification advantageous
• Tenacious, structured and organised - with the drive to genuinely embed change

WHAT'S ON OFFER

• Salary up to £60,000
• Private medical insurance 
• Pension - 10% employer contribution
• £250 annual staff allowance
• Headspace app
• A genuinely unique opportunity to shape the compliance function of one of Scotland's most exciting growing distillers
