EHS Advisor, Finglas

Reporting to: Warehouse Manager Location: Hybrid — Office, Site & Home | Travel across the island of Ireland required; occasional UK travel Full driving licence required

This is a hands-on EHS role embedded in a distribution and supply chain environment. You will be the safety presence on the floor and the voice of EHS at management level — able to shift between both without losing credibility in either.

The business operates at pace with lean teams. The expectation is not that you will be managed through every challenge — it is that you will identify what needs doing and solve problems using your own initiative.
