Regional HSE Leader

Role Overview

As the Regional Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) Leader, you will play a vital role in promoting and maintaining a safe, healthy and environmentally responsible work environment across multiple IMI locations. The Regional HSE Leader is the execution arm of the HSE function across their assigned geography, responsible for translating sector HSE strategies — set by the Sector HSE Directors — into measurable, site-level improvement across every location in the region.

Key Responsibilities

• Strategy Execution

• Receive and align with sector HSE priorities from each Sector HSE Director at the start of each performance cycle.
• Translate strategic priorities into clear, site-level action plans within 30 days of each cycle.
• Ensure all Site HSE Managers in the region understand what is expected of them and by when.
• Manage competing sector priorities across the geography — agree sequencing with the relevant Sector HSE Director(s).
• Where unresolved, escalate conflicts for prioritisation by the Group HSE Director.

• Driving Site-Level Change

• Work with Site HSE Managers to implement agreed improvement actions, with a clear bias towards delivery.
• Plan site visits purposefully, with each visit linked to a defined objective and a clear improvement outcome.
• Provide visible leadership to Site HSE Managers through constructive challenge, practical support and regular engagement.
• Where progress stalls or performance concerns persist, escalate promptly to the relevant Sector HSE Director and agree a recovery plan.

• Performance Monitoring, Reporting & Governance

• Ensure reports and presentations are delivered on time and to the required standard, minimising the need for rework.
• Track progress against site improvement plans on a monthly basis.
• Report outcomes, not only activities, to the relevant Sector HSE Directors monthly.
• Proactively identify and escalate risks, blockers and persistent performance concerns in a timely manner, rather than waiting for formal audit cycles.

• Feedback & Ground Reality

• Act as the insight layer between sites and sector strategy, providing visibility of what is happening in practice versus what may be assumed.
• Surface systemic issues that cannot be resolved at site level and escalate appropriately.
• Identify best practice within the region and facilitate sharing across sites and sectors.
• Provide honest, evidence-based input to the Sector HSE Directors’ strategy reviews.

• Vacancy & Continuity Management

• When a Site HSE Manager vacancy arises in the region, act promptly to maintain appropriate HSE oversight at the site.
• Escalate vacancies to the Group HSE Director and relevant Sector Director without delay.
• Support onboarding of new Site HSE Managers to ensure continuity of improvement plans.

• Cross-Sector Coordination

• Operate across all sectors present in the geography — Industrial Automation, Process Automation, Life Science, Transport, Climate Control.
• Build effective working relationships with all Sector HSE Directors providing strategic direction for the region.
• Ensure no site is overlooked because of sector complexity within the geography.

• Leadership, Culture & Training

• Coach and challenge Site HSE Managers to build capability (e.g., problem solving, investigation quality, risk assessment quality) and to sustain improvements over time.
• Ensure mandatory HSE training requirements are planned, completed and effective across sites in the region (supporting delivery where required).
• Promote consistent safety culture expectations across sites, escalating persistent leadership or behavioral concerns to the relevant Sector HSE Director(s).

• Risk, Incident & Assurance

• Following each site HSE visit conducted by the Regional HSE Leader, prepare and present a structured findings report using the standard presentation format, submitted to site leadership, the Sector HSE Director, and the Group HSE Director within two weeks of the visit.
• Reports should include key observations, identified risks, recommended corrective actions and agreed timelines for resolution.
• Act as Lead Auditor for assessments in-region when assigned under the sector assessment programme; support delivery of the agreed annual assessment plan.
• Investigate and analyse accidents and incidents within the region, supporting Site HSE Managers with investigations, identifying root causes, and driving continuous improvement through effective preventive measures.
• Monitor and support the industrial hygiene programme across your region.

• Continuous Improvement & Other Duties

• Stay current with industry best practice and emerging regulatory developments, proactively recommending improvements to the wider leadership team.
• Carry out any other duties appropriate to this post, as necessary or as requested.

Success Behaviors

• Build and maintain strong, trusted relationships with key internal stakeholders.
• Change-oriented — focused on delivering meaningful improvement rather than maintaining the status quo.
• Accountable — takes ownership of regional outcomes and leads with clear accountability across the region.
• Proactive — identifies issues early and acts with initiative to address them.
• Credible — trusted by site teams, respected by sector directors.
• Organised — manages a complex multi-site, multi-sector geography without losing sight of priorities.
