HSE Manager - 12 month FTC

Health, Safety & Environmental Manager (12-Month FTC)

Location: Blackpool Salary: Up to £50,000

This isn't a steady-state role . it's a turnaround mission.

We're looking for a hands-on HSE professional who knows how to step into a manufacturing environment, quickly assess what's not working, and drive real, lasting change. This is a low-risk manufacturing site with huge potential, but it needs the right leader to reset standards, rebuild confidence, and embed a proactive safety culture.

If you've successfully transformed an underperforming HSE function before, this is your chance to do it again, with full visibility and impact.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Own the turnaround - take a site that needs direction and shape a high-performing HSE function
• Make an immediate impact - your expertise will influence behaviours, systems, and leadership from day one
• Be visible and hands-on - not a desk role; you'll be on the floor driving change where it matters
• Work with leadership - act as the trusted advisor, challenging and guiding senior stakeholders

What You'll Be Doing

• Take full ownership of resetting and rebuilding the HSE function
• Rapidly assess current gaps and implement practical, effective improvements
• Drive compliance with UK legislation, ISO14001 and ISO45001 - but go beyond compliance to create a culture shift
• Be a constant presence on site, coaching, influencing, and holding teams accountable
• Lead on incident management, RIDDOR reporting, and performance metrics, using data to drive decisions
• Deliver engaging, no nonsense training that changes behaviours - not just ticks boxes
• Partner with leadership to embed clear standards, structure, and accountability

What We Need From You

• Proven experience turning around an HSE function within a manufacturing environment (this is essential)
• NEBOSH Diploma (or equivalent) with strong working knowledge of UK HSE legislation and ISO standards
• A hands on, sleeves rolled up approach - you lead from the front
• The confidence to challenge, influence, and drive change at all levels
• Strong organisational skills with the ability to prioritise in a fast moving environment
• Available immediately or at very short notice

What You'll Gain

• A role where you can see the difference you're making every day
• Full ownership to implement change without red tape
• The chance to leave a lasting legacy in a business that needs your expertise
