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.

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.
