The assignment is expected to run for a few months initially, with the possibility of extension depending on business needs.

You'll be the main EHS point of contact on site, working closely with operational leaders to maintain standards, support safe working practices, and ensure the business continues to meet its health, safety and environmental obligations.

• Carrying out and reviewing risk assessments, incident investigations and near-miss reporting
• Providing practical EHS advice to managers, supervisors and employees
• Supporting environmental compliance, including waste control and energy-related activity
• Coordinating EHS meetings, actions, reporting and site-level KPIs
• Acting as a point of contact for external bodies where needed

We're looking for someone with:

• Previous experience in an EHS, Health & Safety or HSE management role
• A background in manufacturing, engineering or another industrial environment
• NEBOSH Certificate as a minimum, or equivalent practical experience
• Knowledge of ISO 14001 and/or ISO 45001
• A good understanding of UK health, safety and environmental regulations
• The confidence to work in a standalone site role with limited supervision
• Strong communication skills and the ability to engage people across a site
• A practical, organised approach and the ability to prioritise quickly

What's on offer:

• Immediate start available
• Potential for extension
• Opportunity to support a specialist manufacturing environment during a key period
• Competitive rate, depending on experience and whether the role is structured as temporary PAYE or contract
