Senior QHSE Manager

Senior QHSE Manager

UK Construction & Operations

Shape Safety Culture at the Heart of the UK's Leading Solar & Storage Portfolio

IGP is on track to deliver the UK's leading solar and storage NSIP portfolio and we're building the team to match. This is a rare opportunity to join at a pivotal moment, reporting directly to the COO as our first dedicated Senior QHSE Manager.

You won't be maintaining an existing system – you'll be building one. This newly created role puts you at the centre of our construction and operational programmes, leading QHSE strategy across a growing portfolio of large-scale renewable energy assets.

What You'll Be Doing

You'll own QHSE end-to-end – from strategy and systems through to on-the-ground delivery.

Specifically, you'll:

• Champion a safety-first culture across IGP and our contractors, suppliers, and consultants
• Develop and continuously improve our QHSE management system, ensuring full compliance with UK legal and regulatory requirements
• Lead CDM, acting as the company expert, managing Principal Designer and Principal Contractor appointments across the portfolio
• Define and drive HSE performance metrics, reporting directly to the COO and Senior Leadership Team
• Oversee audit, NCR, and incident investigation across multi-contractor construction sites
• Assess and qualify contractors and suppliers based on QHSE credentials and performance
• Interface with our ESG team on environmental performance and community engagement
• Embed lessons learned and drive continuous improvement across the business

What We're Looking For

Essential

• 7-10 years' experience leading QHSE in a construction or infrastructure environment
• Engineering background with a NEBOSH Diploma (or equivalent)
• Demonstrable expert knowledge of CDM 2015, the UK HSE regulatory framework, and ISO 9001/45001
• Proven track record managing contractors and leading incident investigations
• Strong influencing and communication skills – you can embed safety culture at every level, from the boardroom to site
• Experience overseeing QHSE across multi-contractor sites, including audit and NCR processes

Highly Desirable

• Experience in quality management for solar PV and/or BESS installations and HV, including witness/hold point processes
• Commissioning oversight experience, and familiarity with NGET

Why IGP?

We're not just building solar farms – we're building the infrastructure that will power the UK's clean energy future. As a senior member of our operational team, you'll have genuine influence over how we grow, how we operate, and how we keep our people and partners safe.

This is a high-impact, high-visibility role for someone who wants to do more than manage compliance – someone who wants to lead.
