THE ROLE

We are looking for an energetic, responsible, and organised individual to join our team as Health, Safety & Compliance Manager. In this role you will be key in the further development of H&S procedures across the business being the “go to” person for all things Health & Safety. You will support Heads of Department in H&S training of other members of staff, whilst carrying out regular site inspections and audits as well as regular process reviews.
You will be ensuring compliance with all relevant H&S, Environmental and Building Regulations, and supporting managers in meeting their responsibilities. You will also provide support to Heads of Department with meeting Technical Governance Standards (e.g. First Response, Transport). This role will be responsible for ensuring 3rd party contractors provide suitable RAMS, work safely and comply with BPW procedures while on site.
You will be working alongside passionate and supportive colleagues in a rewarding environment, where you’ll be making a huge contribution to maintaining a safe environment for our team and customers. We are a Health and Safety-first organisation and already have industry leading processes but as we grow so does our responsibility to our team and our customers, as such we are looking for a candidate who can bring new skills and knowledge to our team from another industry.
