I am representing a growing South West company that is recruiting for a confident QHSE professional. Are you looking for a role where you can genuinely influence culture, elevate standards, and shape how safety is delivered across a growing organisation? This is an opportunity to join a business with strong investment, clear direction, and a commitment to raising the bar in quality, health, safety and environmental performance. Working across a diverse portfolio of civil engineering and infrastructure projects, you’ll play a key role in strengthening systems, supporting operational teams, and embedding a proactive, high-performing QHSE culture.
The Role of the QHSE Manager
Reporting to the Head of QHSE, you will take ownership of quality, health, safety, environmental and emergency activities across the organisation. This is a varied position combining hands-on site engagement with strategic input at leadership level. A typical week could include:
* Supporting project teams on-site, building relationships and improving safety culture
* Conducting audits, inspections and compliance reviews
* Collaborating with internal stakeholders across operational and engineering functions
* Developing and improving QHSE systems, processes and documentation
* Responding to incidents and supporting emergency preparedness activities
This role suits someone who is equally comfortable operating practically on-site and influencing at management level.
Why Join this company?
* Be part of a growing, investment-backed organisation with clear direction
* Opportunity to influence cultural change and drive continuous improvement
* Work across diverse, technically interesting environments
* Collaborate with experienced professionals across QHSE, operations and engineering
* Join a leadership team that values trust, autonomy and professional development
