ABOUT THIS ROLE

As the Health & Safety Manager, you will be TAG Live®’s principal operational Health & Safety manager, supporting the business to maintain safe, compliant and practical working arrangements across our varied portfolio of entertainment, leisure and visitor-facing activities.

This is a hands-on role. You will work across the business, from our HQ through to client sites, live events, entertainment productions, technical operations, sports and leisure activities and water-based experiences.

You will provide competent advice, establish appropriate standards and provide assurance that those standards are being implemented effective.

A key part of the role will be supporting TAG Live® as it continues to develop its B2C events, visitor experiences, sports and leisure activities and water-based operations.

You will work closely with operational teams to find safe and proportionate ways of delivering ambitious projects and experiences.

The role will also support the continued development of TAG Live®’s Health & Safety management system, ensuring that policies, risk management, training, incident reporting, audits and corrective actions work together as one practical system.

The role will primarily be remote working, with regular attendance at TAG Live® HQ in Stewartby, Bedfordshire, regular travel to project and client sites throughout the UK and occasional overseas travel.
