We’re partnering with a well-established national business within the modular and temporary buildings sector to recruit an experienced Health & Safety Manager. This is a standalone position offering real ownership, visibility at senior level, and the opportunity to drive a strong safety culture across multiple operational sites.

The Role

As Safety Manager, you’ll be the company’s key health and safety lead, reporting directly to the Compliance Director and working closely with senior management.

  • Develop and update H&S policies, procedures, and training programmes.
  • Provide board-level input on safety performance and strategic initiatives.

About You

We’re looking for a confident, credible professional who enjoys working autonomously and engaging with people at all levels. You’ll need:

  • Proven experience managing H&S in construction, modular building, manufacturing, or transport environments—ideally involving moving machinery (e.g. forklifts).
  • A practical, hands-on approach and the confidence to influence and challenge constructively.
  • Excellent organisational and communication skills, with the ability to manage a varied workload.
  • A recognised Health & Safety qualification (NEBOSH or equivalent).
  • Full UK driving licence (company vehicle provided).

The Offer

  • Salary around £65,000
  • Fully expensed company vehicle
  • Standalone position with direct access to senior leadership
  • Genuine autonomy and the opportunity to shape the company’s safety culture
