SHEQ Managers Recruiters in Garden Route

Plants along the Garden Route tend to be smaller and leaner, so a production manager here usually owns quality, maintenance planning and people development at the same time. We look for genuinely hands on candidates who are comfortable without a large support structure behind them.

SHEQ managers hold safety, health, environment and quality together. They keep a site legally compliant and genuinely safer, not only audit ready.

• Maintain compliance with the Occupational Health and Safety Act and its regulations
• Run risk assessments, incident investigations and corrective actions
• Manage ISO 45001, ISO 14001 and quality certifications
• Lead safety training, toolbox talks and contractor control
• Report safety and environmental performance to management

• Five or more years in SHEQ within manufacturing or heavy industry
• SAMTRAC or an equivalent safety qualification, often with auditor training
• Experience of a Department of Employment and Labour inspection
• A record of reducing incident rates rather than only recording them

• Legal compliance
• Risk assessment
• Incident investigation
• Management systems
• Training and influence
• Contractor control

We keep an exclusive client list, so on every accepted sheq manager mandate a far wider part of the Garden Route manufacturing market stays open to direct approach. We map the employers in the area, contact people who are not applying for jobs, test the detail behind each claim on a CV and present a short, honest list. Our fee is 12.5 percent and every placement carries a three month guarantee period.
