⭐Health and Safety Manager⭐

Permanent | Full-Time

Osprey Engineering Solutions are recruiting a Health & Safety Manager on behalf of a well-established, leading supplier within the compressed air industry for industrial environments.

This is a hands-on, H&S leadership role for an experienced safety professional who is equally comfortable working at a strategic level and engaging with engineers, technicians, and operational teams on a day-to-day basis. The business operates across both engineering and service environments, so a background in engineering, manufacturing, or a technical industrial setting is essential.

Responsibilities

  • Lead and manage all health, safety, and environmental (HSE) activity across the business
  • Develop, implement, and continuously improve H&S management systems, policies, and procedures in line with current legislation
  • Ensure compliance with ISO 14001 (Environmental Management) and support the maintenance and improvement of environmental management practices
  • Conduct and review risk assessments, method statements (RAMS), and safe systems of work across all operational activities
  • Investigate accidents, incidents, and near misses — identifying root causes and implementing corrective actions
  • Deliver H&S inductions, toolbox talks, and ongoing training to staff across engineering, technical, and operational functions
  • Carry out regular site audits and inspections across multiple locations
  • Liaise with external bodies including the HSE, insurers, and certification bodies
  • Monitor legislative changes and ensure the business remains fully compliant
  • Produce regular H&S reports and KPI dashboards for senior management

Requirements

  • NEBOSH National General Certificate as a minimum — essential.
  • Proven H&S management experience within an engineering, manufacturing, or technical industrial environment
  • Familiarity with ISO 14001 Environmental Management Systems — experience within an ISO-certified business is highly desirable
  • Experience producing RAMS, conducting risk assessments, and leading incident investigations
  • Strong communicator — able to engage credibly with engineers, technicians, and senior leadership
  • Self-motivated and capable of managing H&S autonomously across a multi-site operation
  • Full UK driving licence required
