At Saint-Gobain Industrial Ceramics, we are looking for a EHS & Sustainability Manager to join our team.

A key aspect of this role will be around behavioural change. On that basis you’d be forgiven for thinking the site isn’t where it needs to be; on the contrary, our site boasts an exemplary safety record, but we are always striving to improve.

This newly created role will appeal to someone who has experience of, and takes accountability for, implementing change and ways of working, as well as managing existing and introducing new ISO standards.
