1What this role really is

This isn't just about ticking boxes; it's about shaping how we think about safety and environment across a significant chunk of our business. You'll be the one setting the standards, building the programmes, and making sure our sites actually 'get it' when it comes to keeping people safe and our operations green. Think less 'safety cop' and more 'strategic partner' to our regional leadership. You're the bridge between corporate vision and on-the-ground reality.

2What you'd actually use

The tools this job runs on, and how well you'd need to know each one.

EHS Management Software (e.g., Intelex, VelocityEHS, Cority)Strategic

Leading platform selection and implementation projects, defining enterprise-wide data standards, managing vendor relationships and system integrations (e.g., with HRIS) across your region.

Chemical/SDS Management (e.g., Chemwatch, Sphera, 3E)Strategic

4How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, honestly: the hard targets, how often each one is actually looked at, and the quiet human signals that never make it onto a dashboard.

Regional TRIR / LTIFR Reduction

Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) and Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) across your assigned sites/region.

Target · Achieve a 10-15% year-over-year reduction in both TRIR and LTIFR across all managed sites.

If the regional TRIR was 1.5 in 2023, the target for 2024 would be 1.275-1.35. You'll track this by aggregating data from all site incident reports.

Environmental Non-Compliance Incidents

Number of environmental permit violations, spills, or reportable releases across the region.

Target · Maintain zero major environmental non-compliance incidents (e.g., regulatory fines, notice of contravention) and reduce minor incidents by 20% annually.

Reducing minor spills from 10 in Q1 to 8 in Q2 across your sites, whilst ensuring no fines from the Environment Agency.

HSE Management System Audit Performance

Average score and number of non-conformances from internal and external ISO 45001/14001 audits across your sites.

Target · Achieve an average internal audit score of 90%+ and zero major non-conformances in external surveillance audits for all sites under your remit.

All 5 sites in your region passing their ISO 14001 audit with no major findings, and an average internal audit score of 92%.

HSE Training Completion Rates

Percentage of mandatory HSE training modules completed by employees across your region.

Target · Maintain 95%+ completion rate for all mandatory HSE training programmes (e.g., Lockout/Tagout, Manual Handling, Environmental Awareness).

Ensuring that by the end of Q2, 98% of all employees in your region have completed their annual fire safety training.

HSE Culture & Engagement

The observable commitment of site leadership and employees to HSE practices, beyond just compliance.

Site General Managers actively championing safety initiatives
high participation in safety committees
employees consistently using Stop Work Authority
positive feedback from anonymous safety culture surveys
proactive reporting of near misses and hazards (not just incidents).

Strategic Programme Development & Implementation

Your ability to identify enterprise-level EHS risks and opportunities, then design and successfully roll out impactful programmes across multiple sites.

Successful launch of a new regional contractor safety management programme resulting in reduced contractor incidents
development of a standardised risk assessment methodology adopted by all sites
positive feedback from site teams on the practicality and value of new programmes.

Regulatory Agency Relationship Management

The quality and effectiveness of our relationships with regulatory bodies (e.g., HSE, Environment Agency) at a regional level.

Proactive engagement with regulators on emerging issues
no unexpected enforcement actions
positive feedback from regulators on our transparency and responsiveness during site visits or investigations
successful negotiation of permit conditions.

5Would you like it

The honest version. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy

Making a Tangible Difference to People's Safety and the Environment

You'll feel a deep sense of satisfaction when a new programme you've designed leads to a measurable reduction in incidents across your sites, or when an environmental initiative significantly cuts our waste output. It's about seeing your strategic work translate into real-world protection.

Successfully rolling out a new contractor safety management system that results in zero contractor-related lost-time injuries for a full year across the region.

Solving Complex Organisational Challenges

You'll thrive on taking a messy, inconsistent EHS landscape across multiple sites and bringing order, standardisation, and continuous improvement. This often means untangling complex operational issues, influencing diverse teams, and finding creative solutions to systemic problems.

Developing and implementing a standardised regional risk assessment methodology that replaces five different site-specific approaches, improving consistency and data quality.

Building and Developing High-Performing Teams

You'll enjoy mentoring and coaching your direct reports (Site HSE Managers), helping them grow their technical expertise and leadership skills. Seeing your team members succeed and take on more responsibility will be a significant source of motivation.

Guiding a junior Site HSE Manager through their first major regulatory audit, helping them build confidence and capability for future challenges.

What frustrates people

The constant tension between operational efficiency and HSE compliance, where you're often the 'voice of caution'.
Dealing with site-specific resistance to corporate-mandated programmes or standards, often rooted in 'that's not how we do things here'.
The emotional and administrative burden of managing multiple serious incident investigations across different sites.
The slow pace of cultural change, even when you've clearly demonstrated the benefits of new approaches.
Getting budget approval for proactive EHS investments versus the rapid approval for reactive fixes after an incident.

What this role does not give you

A purely hands-on, day-to-day operational safety role – you'll be more strategic and managerial.
A quiet, predictable 9-to-5 job – expect urgent requests, travel, and sometimes working outside normal hours, especially during incidents or audits.
A role where all your recommendations are immediately adopted without question – you'll need to build a strong case and influence.
An environment free from bureaucracy – managing EHS across multiple sites often involves significant documentation and reporting.

6Who you work with

This role is absolutely critical for maintaining our operational integrity and social licence. You'll directly influence the safety culture and environmental footprint across a significant portion of our business, impacting everything from insurance premiums and regulatory compliance to employee morale and public perception. Get it right, and we're a leader in responsible operations. Get it wrong, and the consequences are severe and far-reaching, affecting our P&L and our people.

7What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

Proven track record of managing EHS programmes and teams across multiple operational sites or a significant business unit for at least 3-5 years.
Demonstrable experience in leading complex incident investigations and driving effective corrective actions at a regional or corporate level.
Deep expertise in implementing and maintaining certified EHS management systems (ISO 45001 and ISO 14001).
Strong experience in engaging with and influencing senior operational leadership and external regulatory bodies.
A comprehensive understanding of UK EHS legislation and its practical application in an industrial setting.

The ten Future Fluencies

Zavmo analysis

The credential is what you can do today. These are what keep you valuable.

A qualification proves you can do the job as it's defined today. These ten are what decide whether you're still the obvious person for it in five years. They're the capabilities employers are now writing into senior roles faster than people are learning them. Zavmo weaves them through whatever you study, so you come out with both: the credential and the fluency.

The highlighted ones are the Fluencies your role leans on hardest, from how Regional / Corporate Health, Safety and Environmental Manager is actually changing. In about two minutes, the free confidence check asks where you stand on each of the ten. That's the whole check, and it's what makes the plan yours rather than generic.

12The team that's yours

No two people are taught the same way. This is one-to-one, not one-to-many.

Zavmo is a hyper-personalised AI learning platform. Twelve virtual tutors, each with a different way of teaching, and one orchestration agent that picks the right one for the moment. So every single lesson is shaped around you, your role, and the way you learn. Not a course everyone sits through. A conversation built for you, and no one else.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, a big chunk of EHS management involves sifting through data, writing reports, and keeping up with regulations. Imagine if you could cut that time in half, freeing you up to actually be on the floor, coaching your team, or tackling those big strategic challenges. That's where AI comes in.

We're not talking about robots replacing you (honestly, we still need your brain for the tricky stuff!). We're talking about smart tools that take the grunt work off your plate. Think of AI as your super-efficient, always-on administrative assistant, analyst, and regulatory expert rolled into one. It's about augmenting your abilities, not replacing them, so you can focus on the high-impact work that truly matters for regional EHS leadership.

Automated Permit-to-Work Validation & Scheduling

AI scans submitted PTW forms from all sites for completeness, cross-references required training in the LMS, checks for scheduling conflicts with other high-risk work, and flags any discrepancies for your site managers before approval. It can even suggest optimal scheduling to minimise clashes.

Predictive Risk Hot-Spotting & Trend Analysis

AI analyses thousands of data points from near-miss reports, safety observations, maintenance logs, and even weather patterns across your region. It identifies hidden correlations and predicts which equipment, process, or even specific site area is at the highest risk for an incident in the coming week or month, allowing for proactive intervention.

AI-Powered Regulatory Scanning & Impact Assessment

An AI agent continuously scans OSHA, EPA, and other relevant regulatory agency websites (including local UK bodies) for proposed rules, enforcement updates, and best practice guidance relevant to your industry and operations. It provides a weekly summarised digest, and crucially, can draft an initial impact assessment on your regional operations.

Instant Policy & Training Material Generation

Provide a topic (e.g., 'new regional waste management policy' or 'advanced root cause analysis training module'), and the AI generates a complete draft, including policy objectives, key procedures, or training content with learning objectives and discussion points, ready for your expert review and customisation. This saves hours on initial drafting.

The honest bit

You’ve started things before

Most of them were built for a room full of people who aren’t you. A cohort moves on whether or not your week allowed it, and by the third week the thing you’re behind on becomes the reason you stop opening it.

There’s no cohort here, and no timetable to fall behind. Before anything starts, Zavmo asks when you’re sharpest and how long you can realistically sit down for, then builds the sessions around those answers. A bad fortnight changes your pace. It doesn’t put you behind.

And you only pay once you start learning. Searching and planning are free, and you can cancel any time — so the cost of finding out is an afternoon, not a year.

What it costs

Less than one coaching session. Every month.

A single career-coaching hour costs more than a month of this, and it ends when the hour does. Zavmo doesn't. It's £70 a month, about £2.30 a day, for a companion that knows a Regional / Corporate Health, Safety and Environmental Manager, works on the job you actually do, and keeps going at your pace rather than a timetable's.

Searching and planning stay free. You only pay when you start learning.
Your credits are yours. Regulated, and they don't vanish when a subscription ends.
Cancel any time and billing stops. No notice period, no minimum term.

Your path, personalised

You have the map. Walking it is the part we do together.

This route runs to 10 national skill standards. That is a real journey.

Zavmo shapes a learning experience as unique as you are. It fits how you learn, your pace and the work you already do. Every step stays benchmarked to recognised national standards. That’s the plan for becoming a Regional / Corporate Health, Safety and Environmental Manager: personal to you, and it still counts. The first steps are free.
