Job Description

Are you a seasoned Health and Safety professional who thrives on variety and possesses the natural leadership to drive true cultural change? A large global manufacturer based in Desford is seeking an autonomous, high-caliber EHS Supervisor to step into a pivotal, 12-month contract. If you are ready to move away from rigid, single-focus specialisms and instead oversee a dynamic, full-spectrum EHS estate where your decisions directly impact operational safety and sustainability, this is your next challenge.

Contract Length: 12 months

Location: Desford

Pay Rate: £26.82 - £28.82 p/h PAYE

Hours: Monday to Thursday (8:00 AM - 4:00 PM), Friday (8:00 AM - 12:00 PM)

In this role, you won't just be ticking boxes; you will provide strategic direction and mentorship to hourly, salaried, and management personnel. Your workload will span diverse initiatives rather than fixed, repetitive projects:

Hazard & Risk Management: Manage the facility's risk assessment, industrial hygiene, and health surveillance programmes.

Governance & Compliance: Govern the EHS training plan, audit programs against regulatory standards, and maintain strict process control over corporate record keeping.

Cultural Leadership: Guide the business through cultural change by providing clear steering for the safety culture team and driving Root Cause Corrective Action (RCCA) alongside a "Just Culture" framework.

Collaborative Consultation: Partner across multiple departments, formulate health and safety policies through stakeholder management, and establish criteria for evaluating high-environmental-impact vendors.

Claims & Legal Support: Administer claims defense for the UK facilities, collaborating with legal counsel according to standard EHS practices.

The ideal candidate will demonstrate:

Experience: Relevant EHS experience, ideally within an engineering environment.

Leadership: Demonstrated team leadership, with experience running EHS teams in smaller settings and the readiness to upscale to a complex organisation.

Qualifications: A NEBOSH Diploma (or equivalent degree-level qualification) with robust foundations in health and safety compliance.

Specialist Knowledge: Completion of specialist courses on industrial health and safety (e.g., working at height, confined spaces).

Core Skills: A proven track record of strategic safety culture improvements, risk-based prioritisation of heavy workloads, and a strong passion for continued professional development
