Salary: £50,000 to £60,000 DOE
Contract: Full-time, permanent
Hours: Monday to Friday, Full time.

This is a role for someone who knows how to keep people safe while keeping operations moving.

If you’re an HSE Manager who understands manufacturing and knows how to work with production, not against it, this is worth a look.

You’ll be joining a large, well-established manufacturing site in Rotherham, supporting a range of industries including defence, construction and heavy engineering. It’s a busy environment with a lot going on, and your role will be to bring structure, consistency and improvement to health, safety and environmental practices across the site.

What the role looks like day to day:
You’ll be working across site with managers, engineers and operators to make sure standards are met, risks are controlled, and issues are dealt with properly.
This is about applying standards in a practical way, balancing compliance with the realities of a busy production environment.

What you will be doing: • Ensuring compliance with all relevant health, safety and environmental legislation.

• Carrying out risk assessments including PUWER and COSHH.


• Leading internal audits and safety reviews.


• Investigating incidents and using data to drive improvements.


• Developing and maintaining safe systems of work and permits to work.


• Running HSE committee meetings and following through on actions.


• Managing contractor and visitor safety on site.


• Supporting emergency planning, drills and evacuation procedures.


• Maintaining documentation, policies and training records.

What they are looking for: • Experience in an HSE role within manufacturing or engineering.

• Strong knowledge of UK health and safety legislation.


• Confidence working across a busy production environment.


• Clear communication skills and the ability to influence at all levels.


• A practical, solutions-focused mindset.


• NEBOSH or equivalent qualification is beneficial.

This role suits someone who can build relationships on site and improve standards without overcomplicating things. If your approach tends to stop production rather than support it, it won’t be the right fit.

Why people move into this role:
You’ll play a key role in improving standards across site, working closely with management and production teams.

This is a business with ongoing investment, a strong pipeline of work, and a clear focus on doing things properly. The hours are consistent, the expectations are clear, and you’ll have the opportunity to contribute to improvements across the site.

What you get: • £50,000 to £60,000 depending on experience.

• Early finish every other Friday.


• 33 days holiday including bank holidays.


• Company pension and life assurance.


• Healthcare scheme.


• Reduced gym membership and Costco card.


• Monthly incentives and referral bonuses.


• Ongoing training and development.


• Free secure on-site parking.
