About Alternative Heat
We specialises in the design, offsite manufacture and installation of innovative mechanical and electrical solutions that support decarbonisation projects across the UK and Ireland. We are continuing to grow and are seeking an experienced HSE Manager to lead and develop our health, safety and environmental function across our Decarbonisation and Service & Maintenance divisions.


The Opportunity
This is a senior leadership role with responsibility for driving a positive safety culture across multiple locations, projects and service operations.

Working closely with operational leaders, clients and site teams, you will ensure compliance, promote continuous improvement and provide strategic HSE leadership across a diverse portfolio of work. You will act as the key point of contact for HSE matters, helping to maintain high standards while supporting the continued growth of the business.

The HSE Manager will oversee HSE performance, regulatory compliance and risk management across these activities, working closely with operational management teams to ensure consistent safety standards and continuous improvement.

Responsible for the planning and delivery of service and maintenance contracts across a range of client sites. The HSE Manager will provide leadership and oversight of HSE compliance, operational risk management and safety performance, working collaboratively with service management teams and client representatives to promote safe working practices and a positive safety culture.

Working closely with senior operational leaders, clients and site teams, you will play a key role in strengthening HSE performance, developing HSE professionals and embedding a proactive approach to safety and environmental responsibility across both business units.

  • Deliver HSE training, coaching and awareness initiatives across the business.
  • Build strong working relationships with clients, contractors and internal stakeholders.
  • Promote a positive culture of safety, environmental responsibility and continuous improvement.
