About the Role

We are looking for an EHS Manager - Operations to lead our frontline EHS advisory function and partner closely with operational leaders across the business. This role plays a critical part in helping our sites operate safely, legally, and effectively.

You will lead a team of EHS Advisors, work hand‑in‑hand with operations, and help embed EHS into everyday business planning, decision‑making, and leadership behaviours.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

Lead the EHS Advisor team to provide consistent, high‑quality frontline support
Build consistency in how EHS is understood and applied across our sites
Support sustainable, site‑owned improvements rather than short‑term fixes
Coach managers and supervisors to demonstrate visible safety leadership and embed EHS into daily operations
Build confidence and capability in leaders to own risks, controls, and decisions
Champion learning from incidents and proactive risk management
Support sites through audits and inspections in a constructive, improvement‑focused way

About You

You are a credible, practical EHS leader who enjoys working closely with operations and developing people.

You will bring:

Tertiary qualifications in Work Health & Safety or a related field
Experience in operational EHS leadership
Demonstrated success coaching leaders and influencing without authority
A balanced approach to risk, compliance, and operational realities
A leadership style that builds trust, accountability, and capability
Experience working within ISO‑aligned EHS systems and multi‑site environments will be highly regarded.
