We're working with an established engineering business in Portsmouth that is looking to appoint a Health & Safety Manager to take ownership of health and safety across the business.
This is a hands-on role where you'll work closely with operational and engineering teams to maintain high standards, improve processes and ensure the business remains compliant with relevant legislation.
The Role
You'll be responsible for the day-to-day management and continuous improvement of the company's Health & Safety function, working across engineering and operational environments.
Key responsibilities will include:
Managing and developing the company's Health & Safety policies, procedures and systems
Ensuring compliance with UK Health & Safety legislation and industry standards
Carrying out risk assessments, audits, inspections and investigations
Identifying areas for improvement and implementing practical H&S initiatives
Working closely with engineering, production and operational teams to promote a strong safety culture
Investigating incidents, near misses and accidents, ensuring appropriate corrective actions are implemented
Delivering or coordinating Health & Safety training and toolbox talks

Supporting the business with environmental and compliance requirements where required
About You
We're looking for an experienced Health & Safety professional who has worked within an engineering, manufacturing or similarly technical environment.
You'll ideally have:
Previous experience in a Health & Safety Manager, H&S Advisor or similar role
Experience working within engineering, manufacturing or industrial environments
Strong knowledge of UK Health & Safety legislation and best practice
Experience conducting risk assessments, audits and incident investigations
A practical, hands-on approach to Health & Safety
The ability to build strong relationships with people across all levels of a business
NEBOSH General Certificate or equivalent H&S qualification
