HSEQ Manager

About the Role

The HSEQ Manager will be responsible for leading the development, implementation, and continuous improvement of Health, Safety, Environmental, and Quality (HSEQ) management systems.

In this role, the successful candidate will act as the organisation's subject matter expert for all HSEQ matters, ensuring full compliance with relevant UK legislation, industry standards, and client requirements, while driving best practice across the business.

This position would particularly suit an individual looking to step into a standalone management role with greater ownership and responsibility, or someone currently operating in a lead role within a larger organisation who is seeking broader autonomy and scope.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead, develop, and maintain Health & Safety, Environmental, and Quality policies, procedures, and systems
• Ensure full compliance with UK legislation, industry standards, and client requirements
• Conduct and oversee audits, inspections, risk assessments, and incident investigations
• Maintain and continuously improve ISO management systems, including ISO 45001 and ISO 18001
• Act as the primary liaison for external auditors, certification bodies, and regulatory stakeholders
• Drive environmental sustainability initiatives and continuous improvement programmes
• Deliver HSEQ training and guidance to managers and operational teams across the business
• Monitor, analyse, and report on HSEQ performance and KPIs
• Support operational teams across UK and Ireland projects, including site-based activity as required

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience in an HSEQ role within construction, retail fit-out, logistics, or a similar operational environment
• Strong working knowledge of ISO management systems and regulatory compliance frameworks
• Excellent leadership, communication, and stakeholder engagement skills
• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities with a continuous improvement mindset
• A proactive approach to building and maintaining a positive safety and quality culture
• Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel to sites across the UK and Ireland

Right to Work

Please note: The organisation is unable to provide visa sponsorship. Applicants must have the legal right to work in the UK and provide valid right-to-work documentation.

Why Apply?

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced HSEQ professional to take ownership of a critical function, influence senior stakeholders, and help shape operational excellence across the business.
