Job Description:

Compliance Manager – £35,000

Full-Time | Permanent | Goldthorpe Hours: Monday to Friday, 7.5 hours per day (37.5 hours per week) Francesca’s Recruitment Ltd – Recruiting on behalf of our client

Take ownership of compliance, governance, and environmental integrity in a fast‑paced manufacturing environment

Francesca’s Recruitment Ltd is delighted to be supporting our client, a respected chemical manufacturing business in Goldthorpe, in their search for a highly skilled Compliance Manager. This is a pivotal role for a technical, detail‑driven professional who thrives on ensuring regulatory excellence and operational integrity.

If you have a passion for chemical regulation, environmental governance, and maintaining legally airtight processes, this role offers the autonomy and influence to make a real impact.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

• Chemical Regulation — ensuring full compliance with COSHH, UK REACH, SDS authoring, and CLP labelling.

• Environmental Governance — monitoring Environment Agency permits and maintaining ISO 14001 frameworks.

• Audit & Risk Management — conducting audits across blending platforms, filling lines, and warehouse operations.

• Training & Culture — delivering inductions, spill response training, and promoting a proactive compliance culture.

• Investigation & Reporting — leading root‑cause analysis and presenting compliance reports directly to the CEO.

What You’ll Bring

• 3–5 years’ compliance or regulatory affairs experience in chemical manufacturing, oil blending, or heavy industrial processing.

• Strong experience authoring SDS documents and submitting chemical data through UK REACH/ECHA portals.

• Practical experience managing Environment Agency permits and ISO 14001 systems.

• Analytical precision, excellent communication skills, and the ability to translate complex regulations into clear, actionable guidance.

Desirable Extras

• Degree in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Environmental Science, or similar.

• NEBOSH General Certificate.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Full ownership of compliance and environmental governance.

• Direct reporting line to the CEO — real influence at senior level.

• A stable, growing manufacturing business with strong values.

• Competitive salary, 21 days holiday + bank holidays, and pension scheme.

• A role where your expertise protects people, the environment, and the business.
