HSE Manager

Oldham | £55,000 - £60,000 DOE

Lodestone Recruitment is working exclusively with a well-established engineering and manufacturing business in Oldham to appoint an experienced HSE Manager.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a safety-focused professional to take ownership of health, safety and environmental performance across a busy manufacturing operation, and play a key role in shaping and embedding a genuinely positive safety culture.

The Role

As HSE Manager, you'll be responsible for developing, implementing and maintaining HSE policies, procedures and management systems across the business, ensuring compliance with all relevant legislation, company standards and industry best practice. You'll lead on risk assessments, safe systems of work and hazard identification, and take the lead on incident, accident and near-miss investigations - identifying root causes and driving corrective action through to closure.

You'll plan and carry out HSE inspections, audits and compliance reviews, deliver training, toolbox talks and inductions to managers, employees and contractors, and monitor HSE performance data to identify opportunities for improvement. You'll also support the maintenance and continual improvement of ISO 45001 and ISO 14001 management systems, working closely with operational managers to ensure HSE responsibilities are understood and applied throughout the business. The role also involves liaising with external bodies, auditors and regulators as required.

What We're Looking For

• NEBOSH General Certificate or equivalent
• Health, safety and environmental experience within manufacturing, engineering or an industrial setting
• Strong knowledge of UK H&S/environmental legislation
• Experience with risk assessments, incident investigations and audits
• Familiarity with ISO 45001/14001
• Strong communicator, confident influencing at all levels

What's On Offer

• £55,000 - £60,000 DOE
• An excellent company pension (you contribute 5%, the company contributes 10%)
• The opportunity to join a business with a strong culture built on safety, quality, integrity, honesty and teamwork
• A genuinely influential role, with real scope to shape HSE strategy and practice

If you're an experienced HSE professional looking for a role where you can make a real impact, we'd love to hear from you.
