Environmental Health & Safety Manager

EHS Manager

 Lead Safety Excellence in a High-Growth Manufacturing Environment


 Location Cork


 I am currently partnering with a highly successful Cork-based manufacturing organisation that is entering a significant phase of scale-up and transformation.


 As the business continues to expand operations, invest in new processes and strengthen its leadership structure, they are now looking to appoint a Head of Environmental, Health & Safety to lead and evolve the EHS function across the site.


 This is a fantastic opportunity for an ambitious EHS professional who wants more than a “maintenance” role. The successful candidate will have the chance to genuinely shape the future direction of safety, culture and compliance within a growing organisation where EHS has strong visibility and backing from senior leadership.


 You will take ownership of the entire EHS function, leading a small team while helping the business build best-in-class safety standards during an exciting growth journey.


 The Role


 Reporting directly into the senior leadership team, you will play a key role in driving Environmental, Health & Safety strategy across the facility while supporting operational growth and continuous improvement initiatives.


 This position will suit someone who enjoys operating both strategically and hands-on, someone comfortable influencing at leadership level while also engaging closely with teams across manufacturing, engineering and operations.


 Key areas of focus will include:

<ul>
 <li>Leading and developing the site EHS function
 </li>
 <li>Driving a proactive, safety-first culture across the organisation
 </li>
 <li>Managing compliance with Irish, European, and corporate EHS standards
 </li>
 <li>Supporting business transformation and operational change projects
 </li>
 <li>Developing risk reduction and continuous improvement programmes
 </li>
 <li>Partnering with Engineering and Operations on new processes and site developments
 </li>
 <li>Leading audits, investigations, reporting, and environmental initiatives
 </li>
 <li>Coaching and developing the existing EHS team
 </li>
</ul>

 Why This Opportunity Stands Out

<ul>
 <li>Opportunity to join a business in genuine growth mode
 </li>
 <li>Highly visible leadership role with real influence
 </li>
 <li>Strong investment in operational improvement and site development
 </li>
 <li>Ability to shape the EHS function as the company scales
 </li>
 <li>Collaborative senior leadership team with dedicated support for EHS
 </li>
 <li>Excellent long-term career potential
 </li>
</ul>

 Candidate Profile


 The client is looking for a confident and progressive EHS professional who can bring energy, leadership, and a continuous improvement mindset to the role.


 You will ideally have:

<ul>
 <li>A Level 7 qualification (or higher) in Health & Safety, Environmental Science or related discipline
 </li>
 <li>3+ years’ experience in a Health & Safety / EHS role within manufacturing or industrial environments
 </li>
 <li>Strong working knowledge of EHS legislation and management systems
 </li>
 <li>Experience driving change and influencing safety culture
 </li>
 <li>Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
 </li>
 <li>The ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced, evolving environment
 </li>
</ul>

 Previous leadership or team management experience would be a strong advantage.
