Role Overview

The Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) Coordinator role at PepsiCo's Coventry site is a dynamic, shift-based position operating on a 4-on-4-off schedule with flexibility as needed. This role plays a critical part in upholding day-to-day EHS management, compliance, and auditing to maintain the highest standards across our Doritos factory. You will collaborate with operational teams, the EHS team, and GEHSMS Duty Holders to foster safe working practices through training, guidance, inspections, and proactive issue resolution. If you have a passion for health, safety, and environmental protection, this position offers an opportunity to drive EHS excellence in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.

Key Responsibilities

In this role, you will support comprehensive EHS compliance aligned with UK legislation and PepsiCo's Global Environmental, Health and Safety Management System (GEHSMS). Key duties include working with Operations, Projects, and other functions to promote best practices and address issues early. You will contribute to resolving significant near misses, participate in accident investigations, and conduct thorough site-wide inspections covering Environmental, PPE, Line-Specific, Fire Protection, Walking Working Surfaces (WWS), and Contractor Control.

Additional responsibilities encompass owning GEHSMS elements such as Waste Management, Spill Prevention, WWS, and PPE. You will complete risk assessments with shift teams for COSHH, Task-Based, PUWER (with MESS duty holder), and Aspects & Impacts. Delivering targeted EHS training—including site inductions, Manual Handling, DSEAR Awareness, Face Fit Testing, and Safe Working Procedure (SWP) development—is essential. Daily GEMBA walks will involve engaging front-line teams, observing hazards, auditing permits and contractors, and coaching safe behaviours. You will also promote a robust EHS culture through communications, campaigns, and routine tasks as business needs arise.

Qualifications & Requirements

Candidates should hold a NEBOSH General Certificate or equivalent, or demonstrate relevant experience in an EHS role. A genuine passion for health, safety, and the environment is crucial, along with the ability to engage teams across all functions. Strong coordination skills are needed to manage time effectively and secure commitment to action plans. Excellent communication—both verbal and written—is required for 1:1 interactions, group presentations, and reporting.

Flexibility is key, with availability for 24/7 support as dictated by business needs. PC literacy, particularly with spreadsheets, is essential. Desirable qualifications include experience in manufacturing, Approved General Risk Assessor status, PUWER/COSHH/DSE/Manual Handling training, environmental management knowledge, and competencies in DSEAR or Confined Space.
