If you’re someone who genuinely cares about quality, safety, and getting things right – this could be a great fit. I'm working with a small but highly specialised manufacturing business on the Cambridgeshire/Suffolk border who are on the lookout for a QHSE Specialist to join their team.

This is a varied and hands-on role, ideal for someone with a background in quality, health & safety, and environmental systems in a chemical or pharmaceutical manufacturing setting.

• Assisting with the day-to-day running of the QC lab and working alongside technical colleagues.
• Preparing for and supporting external audits.

What we’re looking for:

• Experience in QA and H&S within a fine chemical or pharmaceutical manufacturing environment
• Good knowledge of ISO 9001, and ideally exposure to 14001 and 45001.
• Auditing experience and a sharp eye for compliance.
• Comfortable working in a small, collaborative team where you’ll wear a few hats.
