Type: Full-time | On-site / Field-based | Permanent
Salary: Competitive + Benefits + Career Development

About the Opportunity

Join a progressive, forward-thinking business in the recycling and waste management sector that’s committed to environmental excellence, innovation, and community engagement. This is a company where sustainability isn’t just a goal—it’s embedded into the way every part of the organisation operates. From state-of-the-art facilities powered by renewable energy to industry-leading waste diversion rates, the company is dedicated to making a meaningful impact.

This is more than just a job—it’s a chance to build a fulfilling, long-term career in health, safety, environmental, and quality (SHEQ) compliance, with full training and professional development support included from day one.

The Role

As SHEQ Advisor, you will play a key role in supporting the compliance and sustainability functions across multiple operational sites. Reporting to the SHEQ Manager, you’ll help ensure legal, ethical, and regulatory compliance across environmental, quality, and health & safety domains, working within accredited systems including ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001, as well as PAS 402.

This is an exciting development role, ideal for someone looking to grow into a SHEQ professional. You’ll gain hands-on experience while working toward industry-recognised qualifications such as WAMITAB and Internal Auditor (Quality & SHEQ) within your first year.

You’ll spend approximately 3–4 days per week on-site, supporting operations and carrying out inspections, audits, and compliance checks—so a full UK driving licence is essential.
