QHSE Specialist

QHSE Specialist - Chemical/Pharma Sector

If you're someone who genuinely cares about quality, safety, and getting things right - this could be a great fit. I'm working with a small but highly specialised manufacturing business on the Cambridgeshire/Suffolk border who are on the lookout for a QHSE Specialist to join their team.

This is a varied and hands-on role, ideal for someone with a background in quality, health & safety, and environmental systems in a chemical or pharmaceutical manufacturing setting. You'll be working closely with the QHSE Manager to maintain and improve the systems that keep the team safe, compliant, and delivering top-quality products.

What you'll be doing:

• Supporting the running of the quality management system (ISO 9001:2015).
• Getting involved in internal audits, investigations, and change control.
• Helping maintain documentation, manage non-conformances and customer complaints.
• Supporting health & safety programmes - from risk assessments to contractor compliance.
• Assisting with the day-to-day running of the QC lab and working alongside technical colleagues.
• Preparing for and supporting external audits.

What we're looking for:

• Experience in QA and H&S within a fine chemical or pharmaceutical manufacturing environment
• Good knowledge of ISO 9001, and ideally exposure to 14001 and 45001.
• Auditing experience and a sharp eye for compliance.
• Comfortable working in a small, collaborative team where you'll wear a few hats.
• NEBOSH preferred (IOSH as very minimum)

Due to the location of the site, a driving licence and access to a vehicle is essential

What you can expect in return:

• Salary in the region of £40,000 - £45,000, dependent on experience
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays
• Pension + life assurance + income protection
• Health cash plan
• Bonus scheme
• Employee assistance support
• Working hours - Monday - Friday, 7.30am - 4.30pm OR 8.30am - 5.30pm
