HSE Manager

Blackpool | Up to £50,000

We're looking for an experienced HSE Manager who has operated as a standalone lead within an SME manufacturing environment and knows how to turn good HSE practice into real-world results.

This is not a role for sitting behind a desk. You'll be on the shop floor, working with people, challenging standards, solving problems and driving improvements across the site.

The business is looking for someone who can take ownership, quickly understand where the gaps are and build a stronger, more proactive HSE culture.

You'll ideally have:

• Standalone HSE management experience within SME manufacturing
• A proven track record of implementing improvements and getting things done
• Strong practical experience with machinery, equipment and varied manufacturing processes
• Experience with machinery risk assessments, guarding, isolation/LOTO and safe systems of work
• NEBOSH Diploma (or equivalent)
• Good knowledge of UK HSE legislation, ISO 45001 and ISO 14001
• Strong incident investigation and RIDDOR experience
• A commercially aware and pragmatic approach
• The confidence to influence everyone from operators to senior leadership
• The drive to work hard, meet deadlines and take ownership of outcomes

This is a varied manufacturing site with a wide range of equipment and processes, so someone who enjoys getting to grips with different machinery and practical safety challenges will thrive here.

We're particularly interested in people who are used to working with autonomy and accountability, rather than those who have always operated within large HSE teams with multiple layers of support.

A highly regulated manufacturing background isn't necessarily a disadvantage, but you'll need to be comfortable in a less structured, hands-on SME environment where you have to make things happen.

This is a fully site-based role in Blackpool, 5 days per week, every week.

You'll have real ownership, visibility with leadership and the opportunity to leave a lasting mark on the site.

If you're a hands-on HSE Manager who enjoys manufacturing, solving problems and seeing tangible results from your work, we'd like to hear from you.
