Are you passionate about creating safer, smarter, and more sustainable workplaces? Do you thrive on driving excellence, leading change, and making a real impact? I'm recruiting on behalf of a forward-thinking client who's searching for a dynamic SHEQ Manager to join their team and take ownership of their Safety, Health, Environment, and Quality (SHEQ) systems. This isn't just a job-it's a chance to shape how they work, champion a culture of excellence, and leave a lasting legacy with a company that values innovation and integrity.
Why This Role is a Game-Changer
As their SHEQ Manager, you'll be at the heart of their operations-ensuring compliance, sparking continuous improvement, and embedding best-in-class practices across their Business Unit. You'll lead their Quality Management System (QMS), oversee a range of certifications (think ISO9001, ISO14001, OHSAS18001, and more), and develop strategies that don't just meet standards-they set them. From collaborating with their Procurement team to sharpen supplier performance, to driving sustainability initiatives like Operation Clean Sweep and alternative energy adoption, you'll have the freedom to innovate and the platform to succeed.
You'll work alongside a talented SHEQ team, engage with Terminal Teams, Senior Management, customers, and suppliers, and report directly to the Business Unit Management Team and Group SHEQ Director. This is a role where your expertise, leadership, and vision will shine-every day.
Why You'll Want to Work Here
My client isn't just offering a job; they're offering a career with purpose-and some brilliant perks to match:
* Generous Holiday: 25 days of annual leave plus bank holidays, giving you ample time to recharge and enjoy life outside of work.
* Enhanced Pension: A strong scheme to secure your future-because they care about the long term.
* Wellbeing Support: From mental health resources to wellness programmes, they've got you covered so you can bring your best self to work.
You'll join a team that values collaboration, celebrates initiative, and invests in your growth. This is a business serious about sustainability and safety-and they need someone like you to help them keep pushing the boundaries of what's possible.
What Will You Do
* Take charge of their SHEQ system, managing audits, certifications, and the QMS with precision and flair.
* Shape and deliver a Dry Bulk SHEQ strategy that aligns with their ambitious Group goals.
* Lead incident investigations, turning insights into action with root cause analysis and corrective measures.
* Drive supplier excellence, working with Procurement to refine processes and performance.
* Champion sustainability-think environmental initiatives and cutting-edge training programmes for their teams and partners.
* Be the voice of SHEQ, delivering engaging reports and updates to everyone from Terminal Teams to Senior Management.
Who You Are
You're a SHEQ expert with a knack for strategy, a passion for sustainability, and a talent for inspiring others. You bring:
* Deep knowledge of SHEQ systems and certifications (ISO9001, ISO14001, OHSAS18001, and beyond).
* Proven experience leading audits, managing suppliers, and driving performance.
* A creative approach to training-whether it's in-person or e-learning, you make it stick.
* A collaborative spirit and the leadership skills to rally teams around a shared vision.
* A degree or diploma in SHEQ Management, Environmental Science, Engineering, or a related field-and ideally, experience in Logistics, or Industrial sectors.
