The Role

We are looking for an experienced EHS professional / EHS Manager to support a medium-sized manufacturing site in Hertfordshire. The initial contract will be 6 months, with a good chance of extension. We're looking to bring someone in on contract who can stabilise the site, address the current backlog and make a clear impact. This is a hands-on management position with responsibility for the site's day-to-day EHS performance. You will have an EHS Advisor reporting directly to you, so you will need to be confident managing, delegating and providing direction while remaining close to the operational detail.

About the Site

The site is a medium-sized manufacturing facility producing a variety of mainly cement and sand-based products. There are 100+ employees working across operations, alongside a larger office-based population. The site is currently in need of additional EHS support and structure. This includes external audits, environmental requirements, risk assessments, COSHH assessments and machine assessments. The immediate priority will be to understand what needs to be addressed, establish clear priorities and then make sure the required actions are completed. You will have the opportunity to make a visible difference to the site and help move it towards becoming a flagship operation.

About You

You will have a strong manufacturing EHS background and be comfortable operating at both a strategic and practical level. You should be someone who can assess a situation, identify what genuinely needs to be done, create a practical plan and then drive that plan through to completion. You will need to be highly organised and confident in prioritising a busy workload, as there are a number of areas requiring attention. Strong people skills are important, as you will be responsible for managing and work with the EHS Advisor while working closely with the wider operational team.
