Position Title:Health & Safety Manager
Position Type: Regular - Full-Time
Requisition ID: 44230
In every role, McCainers are ambitious, curious, and passionate about creating exceptional work experiences - together. With a customer-first mindset, we make doing business with McCain easy.
At Scarborough, we’re looking for someone who goes beyond compliance - someone who can shape culture, influence leaders, and inspire teams they don’t directly manage. Of course, safety is non-negotiable.
So much so, we’ve built our own internal safety brand - because making sure every colleague goes home safely to their family and friends isn’t just a priority, it’s part of who we are. But this role? It’s bigger than that. This is about setting the bar - not just for Scarborough, but for the wider business. It’s about embedding a safety mindset so deeply that it becomes instinctive. Lived. Breathed. Owned by everyone.
You’ll sit at the heart of the site leadership team, influencing thinking, challenging norms, and driving a culture where safety isn’t driven by process… but by people. Because here, HSE isn’t a function. It’s a culture. And for the right person, this is more than a role - it’s a genuine opportunity to grow your career, with a pathway towards future Director-level appointments.
You'll be based at our Whittlesey plant in Peterborough. If you’ve spotted our three wind turbines, then you’ll know where we are! With about 350 employees on site, we’re one of our largest plants across the GB business. Our Whittlesey plant is where we make our famous French Fries as well as our chilled products, such as our Shake Shake Fries.
Don't live near our plant location? We will pay for you to relocate!
This is a real manufacturing career based in Peterborough, with the Fens on your doorstep and a cathedral city five minutes from the factory floor. If relocating is the only thing stopping you applying, talk to us. We can help make the move financially viable.
Although we do encourage you to taste the goods you’ll be pleased to know we don’t pay you in ‘chips’. For working hard, you’ll also get a great salary and some pretty good benefits including:
