Join a global FMCG powerhouse that combines scale, innovation and purpose - and is entering an exciting new chapter of growth and transformation. With a strong international footprint and ambitious plans ahead, this is a rare opportunity to join a business where bold thinking, operational excellence and people truly matter.

Job Description

  • Develop and deploy the regional HSE strategy, translating global priorities into a practical regional roadmap.
  • Drive improvements in safety maturity, risk management and operational standards across the region.
  • Own regional HSE performance, including TRIR, LTIR, serious injury prevention and leading indicators.
  • Establish consistent HSE governance, systems, standards and reporting across multiple sites.
  • Lead and oversee serious incident investigations, root-cause analysis and corrective action effectiveness.
  • Partner with Plant Directors and senior operations leaders to strengthen visible safety leadership and accountability.
  • Coach and develop HSE leaders across the regional network, building capability and succession depth.
  • Drive a stronger safety culture and hazard-reporting mindset across the organisation.
  • Lead environmental compliance and performance initiatives covering energy, water, waste and emissions.
  • Partner with Engineering, Quality, HR and Supply Chain on major projects, transformations and operational risk management.

The Successful Applicant

We are looking for a senior HSE leader who brings:

  • Significant HSE/EHS experience within a complex manufacturing or industrial environment.
  • Proven experience working across multiple sites and/or countries.
  • Strong knowledge of HSE management systems, governance and regulatory requirements.
  • A track record of improving safety performance and building safety maturity and culture.
  • Experience influencing senior operational stakeholders, ideally including Site Directors or equivalent leadership teams.
  • Strong capability in incident investigation, risk management and corrective action.
  • Exposure to environmental management and sustainability.
  • The ability to operate strategically while remaining close to operational realities.
  • Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills.
  • Regional or international exposure within a multinational environment.

What's on Offer

This is not simply an HSE compliance role.

You will have the opportunity to shape how HSE is led regionally, influence senior business leaders, build capability across a regional network and leave a lasting impact on safety performance and culture.

If you are an HSE leader looking for your next opportunity to influence at regional level and drive transformation at scale, we would like to hear from you.
