HSE coordinator

The HSE Coordinator is a factory-based, hands‑on role with the goal of making a real difference, supporting our teams with meeting their compliance obligations for Health, Safety and Environment, and driving best practice across all areas of the business. Drawing on their experience of applying HSE solutions to deliver real change in a manufacturing environment, the role holder will have a passion for bringing people on a journey of growth, questioning current practices where necessary and driving a culture change process that both engages staff and embeds positive HSE practices into everything we do. The role holder will have a can‑do attitude and work closely with management to promote the ownership of HSE by all staff members. Effective collaboration is critical to ensure the needs of stakeholders are understood, as is the ability to influence others to buy into changes that improve HSE performance and compliance. Attention to detail and the ability to take the initiative and make sound judgments about the compliance of work activities must be carefully balanced with the need to understand and deliver operational goals, so a factual but pragmatic attitude to HSE management is essential.
