Overview

Environment, Health and Safety Manager Jobs in Sirdaryo, Sirdaryo Region, Uzbekistan at Yashil Ferma

Title: Environment, Health and Safety Manager

Company: Yashil Ferma

Location: Sirdaryo, Sirdaryo Region, Uzbekistan

Yashil Ferma is an Uzbek–Hungarian joint venture building a fully integrated poultry business: breeder and broiler farms, hatchery, feed mill, slaughterhouse and processing plant, and warehouses. We are in the construction and ramp-up phase, which means the person who takes this role will not inherit an HSE system – they will design it, write it, and embed it before the first bird arrives.

Reporting to: Chief Operations Officer

What you will own

• The HSE management system across every site – farms, hatchery, feed mill, slaughterhouse and processing plant, warehouses, offices and active construction sites
• HSE policy, strategy and the annual plan, built to ISO 45001 and ISO 14001
• Contractor and construction-phase HSE: pre-qualification, HSE plans, permit-to-work, LOTO, NCRs, stop-work notices, pre-handover readiness verification
• Risk assessment across poultry-specific hazards — ammonia and organic dust, zoonoses, biosecurity interface, feed dust explosion, confined spaces, ammonia refrigeration
• Slaughterhouse and processing hazards: machine guarding, knives and cutting equipment, wet and slippery floors, cold environments, CO₂ stunning where applicable
• Fire, industrial safety and emergency preparedness, including hazardous production facility registration and expertise (ammonia refrigeration, steam boilers, pressure vessels, gas networks)
• Occupational health and industrial hygiene: medical examinations, exposure monitoring, respiratory protection programme, PPE
• Environmental management: waste (manure, litter, mortalities, hatchery, slaughterhouse by-products, veterinary and chemical waste), wastewater, emissions and odour, water use, statutory environmental reporting
• Incident reporting and investigation, root cause analysis, corrective action and lessons learned across all sites
• The HSE training plan, briefing system, safety walks and the safety culture programme
• The structure, recruitment, development and budget of the HSE function

What we are looking for

• Bachelor’s degree in occupational safety, technosphere safety, environmental science, engineering or a related field
• 5–7 years of experience in HSE, including at least 2 years leading the function or a team
• Valid Uzbek occupational safety training and knowledge-testing certificate
• Construction-phase and contractor HSE management experience
• Thorough knowledge of Uzbek legislation on occupational safety, industrial and fire safety, and the environment
• Practical command of risk assessment (HIRA, JSA, HAZOP/HAZID), permit-to-work, LOTO, and RCA methods (5 Why, Ishikawa, TapRooT)
• Confident, independent dealings with supervisory authorities and external auditors
• Ability to take independent and principled decisions under production pressure
• Fluent Uzbek and English; Russian an advantage

An advantage:

• Experience in poultry, livestock, food processing or agro-industrial enterprises
• International HSE certification: NEBOSH IGC, IOSH Managing Safely, OSHA 30 or equivalent
• ISO 45001 / ISO 14001 internal or lead auditor certification
