As the Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) Manager, you will lead the safety culture across all operational environments at our Rugby site, supporting approximately 450 employees, including our dedicated manufacturing team. Working closely with the EHS Leader, you will develop and deliver strategies that drive continuous improvement, mitigate risk, and ensure full legal and ISO compliance.
You are a pragmatic, resilient leader who excels at influencing stakeholders at all levels. You should be comfortable presenting to leadership teams and possess the technical proficiency to manage data-driven reporting.
We offer a 40-hour work week, Monday–Friday, with hybrid work flexibility based on experience. Whether you drive or take the train, we’ve got you covered with free on-site parking and a short, easy walk from the local station.
About GE Vernova – Power Conversion & Storage
Our mission is to build a sustainable electric power system and combat climate change—a global responsibility we take seriously. As we shape a different energy future, we are transforming how we operate.
Our Rugby site is the heartbeat of our Power Conversion & Storage business. With a robust pipeline of high-impact projects, we are at the forefront of the electrification revolution, supporting marine, oil & gas, power generation, and industrial decarbonization. With a growing team of 450 professionals, we are looking for an influential EHS leader to ensure that while we transform the world’s energy systems, we keep our own people, environment, and operations safe.
About the role
As our EHS Manager, you will do more than just manage compliance—you will shape the safety culture for a huge-scale manufacturing environment. Reporting to the EHS Leader, you will act as the primary partner to our site operations, bridging the gap between high-level strategy and shop-floor reality.
This is a practical, influential role for a leader who is as comfortable walking the production line and coaching a team on risk-reduction as they are presenting performance data to our senior leadership team. If you are ready to apply your technical expertise to help us drive a proactive safety culture during a period of significant growth, we want to hear from you.
Please note this is a site-based role at our Rugby UK location.
What you will do
• Culture Leadership: Be the driving force for a proactive EHS culture, actively engaging with our 450-strong workforce to embed safety as a core value.
• Strategic Execution Translate Group EHS strategies into tactical, shop-floor action plans that mitigate risk and prevent incidents before they occur.
• Compliance: Maintain our high standards for ISO 14001 and ISO 45001, providing expert guidance and ensuring audit readiness.
• Data-Driven Improvement Leverage safety data to identify trends, challenge the status quo, and drive continuous improvement programs across production.
• Risk Management: Lead risk-reduction initiatives for complex industrial operations, including electrical safety, high-level lifting, and working at height.
• Incident Ownership Oversee robust incident investigations, ensuring that root-cause analysis leads to corrective actions and meaningful lessons learned.
• Stakeholder Partnership Act as the primary liaison with external bodies (HSE, Environment Agency) and internal leadership
• Lean Integration: Collaborate with manufacturing teams to integrate Lean methodologies into EHS processes, reducing waste and boosting operational efficiency.
