QHSE Manager - Manufacturing
Chesterfield
£50,000 - £60,000 + Benefits
Are you a hands-on QHSE professional who enjoys being on the shop floor as much as shaping policy and driving improvement?
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a well-established and growing manufacturing business, in a role where you can genuinely make an impact.
The opportunity
This is not a desk-based compliance role.
You’ll be at the heart of the operation, working closely with teams across the business to ensure QHSE standards are not only met, but continuously improved. You’ll bring a practical, common-sense approach, helping embed a culture where quality, health & safety, environmental standards and commercial decision making go hand in hand.
The role
You will take ownership of QHSE across the site, combining hands-on involvement with strategic oversight.
Key responsibilities include:
* Leading all QHSE activity across the business
* Maintaining and improving systems aligned to ISO 9001 & 14001
* Reviewing and evolving policies and procedures to drive continuous improvement
* Supporting day-to-day operations on the shop floor, ensuring best practice is followed
* Carrying out audits, risk assessments and investigations where required
* Promoting a strong safety-first culture across the business
* Working closely with leadership to align QHSE with operational and commercial goals
* Supporting elements of HR where they overlap with QHSE (training, compliance, employee wellbeing)
About you
You’ll be someone who is comfortable rolling your sleeves up and getting stuck in, while also having the confidence to challenge and improve existing processes.
You will bring:
* A background within manufacturing
* A recognised qualification such as NEBOSH or IOSH
* Strong understanding of ISO 9001 & 14001
* Experience operating in an SME environment
* A proactive, solutions-focused mindset
* The ability to influence and engage teams at all levels
* Ideally some exposure to HR-related activities
The environment
This is a business where people matter, decisions are made quickly and you can see the impact of your work.
The role is 5 days on site in Chesterfield, with flexibility where needed.
The package
£50,000 - £60,000 + benefits
If you’re looking for a role where you can combine hands-on involvement with real influence and continuous improvement, this is well worth exploring.
