• Shape the Strategy: You will develop and execute the safety strategy for the entire engineering function, moving beyond compliance to drive genuine operational excellence and innovation.
• Industry-Leading Impact: Join a market leader in intermodal logistics and heavy haul rail, where your work has a direct and visible impact on national infrastructure and operational resilience.

What We're Looking For

• Professional Expertise: Nebosh Diploma or equivalent and experience in engineering.
• Safety-Critical Acumen: You have proven experience and a deep understanding of risk management gained within a complex, safety-critical industry such as rail, transport, or heavy engineering.
• A Strategic Influencer: You are a compelling communicator, comfortable advising, challenging, and influencing senior leadership teams to embed a culture of continuous improvement.
• Proactive & Passionate: You possess a genuine passion for safety, with a proactive, results-oriented approach and a willingness to travel across UK sites to foster engagement.
