We're KP Snacks, proud to be part of the Intersnack family. Picture this: over 15,000 of us, spread across more than 30 countries, all working together to create the snacks you love. From Hula Hoops to McCoy's, we're the team behind your favourite munchies. Here in the UK, we're about 2,400 strong, spread across seven factories and our Slough HQ. But don't let our size fool you - we're as close-knit as they come. We believe in speaking our minds, celebrating our differences, and pushing boundaries together. Diversity isn't just a buzzword for us. We're on a mission to create a workplace where everyone belongs. So, even if you don't tick every box, we want to hear from you! Your unique perspective could be just what we need. Also, if there's anything we can do to make this process easier for you, just give us a shout. We'd love to hear from you if you can demonstrate the following knowledge, skills and experience: You'll bring in-depth knowledge of Health, Safety and Environmental legislation, supported by a NEBOSH Diploma (or NVQ Level 6 equivalent). As a qualified HSE professional - ideally a member of IOSH - you'll be committed to maintaining your continuing professional development (CPD) and staying current with industry best practice. A sound understanding of ISO standards and risk management is essential. Strong leadership, planning, and communication skills are key, enabling you to effectively manage a team and influence across the site.

You'll have hands-on experience in a manufacturing environment, ideally within the food or FMCG sector, and be confident working in a fast-paced, complex setting. Previous line management experience is essential, as you'll lead three direct reports and play a key role in shaping the site's HSE culture. We also value experience in change management, influencing, and cross-functional collaboration. An IEMA Environmental Diploma is preferred, though if you currently hold the IEMA Certificate, we're happy to support your progression to Diploma level. Additional qualifications such as internal auditing or Lean Six Sigma are a bonus but not essential. We're looking for someone who brings our KP values to life - someone who is collaborative, driven, positive, and always learning. If you're passionate about making a difference, developing others, and leading with integrity, you'll thrive in this role and team. #CVL #LI-SC1 #LI-ONSITE
