SHEQ Manager

SHEQ Manager – Keep It Safe. Keep It Smart. Keep It Right.

Location: Banbury
Hours: Monday to Friday, 8:30am–5:00pm (with flex when audits bite)
Salary: £45,293 + Benefits

What if your next job wasn’t about ticking boxes… but about making sure lives are protected?

We’re partnered with one of the UK’s largest independent mechanical testing facilities – a place where metals and composites are bent, stretched, smashed and studied until they finally give in. Before a single part ends up in an aircraft, a defence system or a power plant, it’s tested here.

And that only matters if the standards inside the lab are just as tough as the tests on the bench. That’s where you come in.

We’re looking for a SHEQ Manager who can own Safety, Health, Environment and Quality from top to bottom – the referee, the coach, and the playmaker who keeps the whole operation sharp.

What you’ll be doing

Making sure the facility stays watertight on ISO/IEC 17025 and Nadcap

Running audits, shutting down problems, and keeping every detail documented

Embedding a safety first mindset so nobody cuts corners

Keeping the labs, rigs and equipment calibrated and trusted

Leading training sessions that actually stick, not just tick

Using data and trends to get ahead of risks before they turn into issues

You’ll fit in if you’re…

Experienced in SHEQ or Quality Management in a lab or regulated setting

Obsessed with the detail but savvy enough to get people on board

Confident with audits, CAPAs, supplier quality and improvement tools

Ideally NEBOSH / IOSH trained, or holding a technical degree

Naturally curious – the kind of person who always asks “why?” when things don’t add up

Perks & Culture

Pension + death in service cover

Cycle to Work scheme

Breakfast Club & team socials

23 days holiday + bank hols (rising with service)

A down to earth culture that values doing things right, not cutting corners
