Health & Safety Facilities Executive

We have an exciting opportunity to join our Health and Safety team, based in Nottingham, covering both our Midlands and Leeds depots.

Our depots are a combination of both warehouse and office space, allowing you to have a varied role.

As a Health and Safety Facilities Executive, you will be key to helping us improve and ensuring the working environments are both compliant and a great place to work for all as part of an established and growing business.

The Health & Safety Facilities Executive will be responsible for delivering complete statutory, regulatory, legal, and industry-specific policy, safety, and training compliance within an established group framework in accordance with ISO45001.

Working with the site management and central safety teams, you will assist in developing individual site safety practices and wider network safety strategies.

You will be devising and implementing site safety meetings, campaigns, toolbox talks, and referenced documentation for colleagues, including senior management, and championing our environmental efforts.

To excel in this Health and Safety Facilities Executive role, you should be conversant with all related company policies and current safety theory whilst maintaining an awareness of new ideas drawn from industry best practices or legislative changes.

You will need to be willing to respond to the operation in terms of some flexibility around working hours. This role will involve regular travel across 7 Parcelhub sites and to off-site meetings.
