About the Company

Our client, based in Leeds, is a leading domestic retrofit installation company specialising in improving the energy efficiency and sustainability of homes. With a strong focus on quality, compliance, and safety, the organisation is committed to delivering retrofit projects that meet PAS 2035 standards — while ensuring the wellbeing of their people, customers, and the environment.

Role Overview

As SHE Manager, you will play a pivotal role in developing, implementing, and managing all aspects of Health, Safety, and Environmental (SHE) compliance across a range of domestic retrofit projects.
