Are you someone who takes real pride in keeping people safe, and wants to build a meaningful career in Health, Safety and Environment?

Do you have a keen eye for detail, a genuine passion for workplace wellbeing, and the drive to grow into a role where you can make a real difference?

We are working with a well-established, respected manufacturer based in West Suffolk — a business operating across specialist sectors on a global scale. Due to continued growth, they are looking for a motivated and organised HSE Co-Ordinator to join their Health & Safety team on a permanent basis.

This is a brilliant opportunity for someone early in their HSE career who is eager to learn, develop, and take on increasing responsibility over time. Full training and support will be provided, and the business is committed to investing in the right person for the long term.

What You'll Be Doing
  • Coordinating and logging Lead Awareness, Basis of Safety, and Manual Handling training across the business
  • Supporting new starter inductions and maintaining associated documentation for both permanent and agency staff

  • Assisting with the generation and review of Risk Assessments and COSHH documentation
  • Creating and maintaining Work Instructions and Process Flows
  • Organising occupational health surveillance
  • Supporting Mental Health Awareness and charity events throughout the year — with the opportunity to train as a Mental Health First Aider
  • Assisting with contractor approval processes and first aid box audits
  • Conducting mandatory compliance checks with relevant governing bodies including DBS, DVLA, and Prohibited Persons
  • Supporting Health & Safety Committee meetings, including minute-taking
  • Contributing to building a positive safety culture across the whole business
What We're Looking For
  • A basic understanding of Health & Safety — IOSH or NEBOSH general certificate is preferable but not essential
  • Competent across Microsoft Office including Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and Visio
  • Highly organised with strong attention to detail and good analytical skills
  • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills — you'll be working with people at all levels
  • Honest, discreet, and professional in all dealings
  • Able to work under pressure and manage multiple tasks
  • A genuine drive to grow, develop, and take ownership of the role over time
The Package
  • Excellent salary depending on experience
  • Permanent, full-time position (Monday to Friday, 42.5 hours per week)
  • Based onsite in Mildenhall, Suffolk
  • Genuine scope for career development and further training, including Mental Health First Aid qualification
