The Occupational Health Service aims to minimise employee illness, injury, and absence, whilst also working hard to restore function, both physical and psychological, after injury or illness. These services augment and work alongside the current OH referral process. As an Ergonomist for this contract, you will get the opportunity to work collaboratively with other equally passionate healthcare professionals from the wider team.

• Undertaking ergonomics assessments either in physical workplaces or using relevant software, and reporting findings to customers.
• Completing assessments and delivering reports to customers within agreed timeframes.
• Supporting internal customer groups, including Product Engineering (PE), Manufacturing Engineering (ME), Plant Launch, and Current Manufacturing, to ensure compliance with the Production Ergonomics procedure, company standards, and relevant local legislation.
• Conducting ergonomics assessment audits and delivering follow-ups as per agreed requirements.

• A qualification in ergonomics, preferably to degree level.
• A good level of IT literacy, with the ability to analyse and present data using IT systems, Microsoft Office, and other software.
• Strong communication, interpersonal, and presentation skills.
• A team player with the ability to develop strong working relationships.
• Self-motivated, proactive, and able to manage day-to-day projects independently.
• A passion for the automotive industry and its technological potential.
• Holder of a full, clean UK driving licence for travel across our client's sites.

Desirable skills:

• Experience in project management and multitasking.
• Experience working in a manufacturing environment.
• Working towards or considering becoming a professional member of a relevant institute, such as Chartered/Registered status with the Chartered Institute of Ergonomics and Human Factors (CIEHF).

Education & Qualifications:
A degree (or equivalent qualification) in ergonomics is required.

Hours:

This is a full-time position, working 37.5 hours per week, Monday to Friday between the hours of 07:30 am to 4pm Monday - Thursday and 07:30 - 1pm Friday. This is a 2-year FTC role.

Location:

This is an on-site position, based predominantly at our client JLR's site in Solihull, although travel to their other sites across the West Midlands will be required on a regular basis.

Salary:

We are offering a competitive salary of up to £44,000 per annum, dependent on qualifications and experience.

Company Benefits:
We value the people who work with us, and our rewards package is reviewed regularly to reflect this. Our current benefits package includes:

• Competitive annual salary dependent on qualifications and experience
• Contributory pension scheme up to 6%
• Life assurance
• Starting on 25 days' annual leave plus bank holidays, increasing with length of service
