HSE Manager

Health & Safety Manager
Arriva London - UK Bus
Competitive Salary

🚨 Ready to lead safety at scale? Only fully qualified professionals need apply.

Arriva London is seeking a high-calibre Health & Safety Manager to take ownership of safety performance across our East and South London operations. This is not just another H&S role - it's a chance to shape culture, influence senior leaders, and make a visible impact across one of London's largest transport networks.

To succeed in this role, you must have completed your NEBOSH Diploma (or equivalent Level 6 qualification). We're looking for someone who brings both credibility and authority, with the expertise to drive real change in a complex, fast-moving environment.

Why This Role Stands Out

This is your opportunity to:

• Take a leading role in embedding a best-in-class safety culture
• Influence decision-making at senior leadership level
• Work across multiple sites where no two days are the same
• Drive meaningful, measurable improvements that protect people and operations

If you're passionate about safety and thrive where you can challenge, improve, and lead, this role is built for you.

The Role

As Health & Safety Manager, you will champion and embed the UK Bus Health & Safety Management System across multiple garages and operational sites.

You'll work closely with senior leaders and frontline teams to ensure safety is not just compliant - but proactive, embedded, and continuously improving.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide expert, authoritative H&S advice across the business
• Develop and implement site-specific safety management plans
• Conduct audits, inspections, and site visits to drive standards
• Interpret legislation and turn it into practical, actionable guidance
• Lead incident investigations and root cause analysis (including RIDDOR)
• Ensure full statutory compliance across all sites
• Deliver insightful performance reports to senior leadership
• Oversee training programmes and inductions
• Chair health, safety & environmental meetings
• Drive clear, engaging safety communication across the organisation

About You

You're confident, credible, and not afraid to challenge. You know how to influence at all levels and bring people with you.

Essential:

• ✅ NEBOSH Diploma (Level 6) or equivalent - completed
• Proven experience in a multi-site, high-risk environment
• Strong leadership and stakeholder influencing skills
• Ability to drive change and deliver results

Desirable:

• IOSH Membership (Chartered or working towards)

Why Join Arriva?

• 💼 Competitive salary
• 🚍 Work across a major London transport operation
• 🌍 A role with real visibility and influence
• 📈 The opportunity to shape safety culture at scale

If you're a fully qualified Health & Safety professional ready to step into a high-impact leadership role - this is your moment.
