QHSE Advisor - Great Blakenham - Elev8 Recruitment Ltd

Description

OverviewQHSE Adviser – Manufacturing / Engineering | Full-time | Ipswich (Great Blakenham)

If you work in QHSE and you're tired of roles that sit on the sidelines — updating documents but never really influence what happens on site — this one is different. This is a hands-on QHSE Adviser role within a group of manufacturing and engineering businesses based at Claydon Business Park. You'll work alongside an experienced Group QHSE Manager and be embedded in day-to-day operations, not parked behind a desk.

What you'll really be doing

Supporting and maintaining ISO-aligned management systems (9001, 14001, 45001)

Carrying out risk assessments and hazard identification in a live, working environment

Supporting and running internal audits, then following actions through

Investigating incidents and near misses properly — not just writing reports

Advising on safe use of equipment, inspections and training

Working closely with managers to improve quality, safety and environmental performance

Stepping in to provide baseline cover when the QHSE Manager is absent

Who this will suitThis will suit someone early-to-mid career in QHSE who wants more responsibility and exposure.

You're likely:

From a manufacturing or engineering environment

Confident enough to challenge, but sensible about how you do it

Comfortable balancing compliance with operational reality

Looking to step up, not hide behind procedure

Formal H&S or ISO qualifications are useful, but practical, demonstrable QHSE experience matters more.

What's on offer

Permanent, full-time role (37.5 hours)

Salary negotiable based on experience and qualifications

Broad exposure across QHSE, not a narrow admin remit

A genuine development role working alongside a senior QHSE lead

Next stepIf you want a QHSE role where you can learn, influence and be taken seriously on site, this is worth a conversation
