Shape the future of health, safety and environmental excellence across a global organisation

At Babcock, we’re working to create a safe and secure world, together. If you join us, you can play your part as a HSE Operational Assurance Manager at any of our main UK locations. This role supports a UK-wide operation and will involve travel across Babcock sites.

As a leading member of the Environmental, Health and Safety team within Mission Technologies, you will lead the organisation's HSE assurance framework across a complex UK-wide operation. This role is focused on assurance, audit, governance and management systems, providing independent oversight of HSE performance, compliance and risk management activities. Working closely with senior stakeholders, you will evaluate the effectiveness of controls, identify improvement opportunities and help ensure compliance with ISO 14001, ISO 45001, legal obligations and organisational standards.

The role

As an HSE Operational Assurance Manager, you’ll lead the development, implementation, and continuous improvement of Environmental, Health and Safety management systems, audit programmes and compliance frameworks. Working closely with senior stakeholders across the organisation, you'll help ensure alignment with business objectives, legal requirements and internationally recognised standards.

This role is best suited to candidates with a background in HSE assurance, governance, auditing or management systems rather than operational site-based health and safety management.

Day-to-day, you’ll be required to:

• Drive audit, assurance and compliance programmes to maintain robust operational standards.
• Analyse health, safety and environmental performance data and producing reports for senior stakeholders.
• Support ISO certification activities, continual improvement initiatives and business transformation programmes.
• Influence stakeholders at all levels to strengthen risk management, compliance and operational performance.
• Lead the development, implementation, governance and continuous improvement of ISO-certified Environmental, Health and Safety management systems.
• Lead HSE assurance programmes across the business, providing independent oversight of compliance, risk management and management system effectiveness.
• Support HSE assurance and compliance activities across Babcock's Land Sector operations.

This is a full-time, 37-hour per week and is a home-based/hybrid role with regular travel to Babcock sites across the UK.
