GeoPura’s mission is to enable the production, transport and use of zero emission fuels with commercially viable technology and services, to decarbonise our global economy. Our initial focus is off-grid, temporary and back-up power – essentially diesel generator displacement – using low-carbon hydrogen via GeoPura’s proprietary Hydrogen Power Unit (HPU). The HPUs are manufactured to a GeoPura design by our partner Siemens Energy at their Newcastle facility, and employ a PEM fuel cell, batteries and a UPS to deliver critical, zero-emission power “as a service” to our customers across a wide range of use-cases from construction to film and TV production, to outdoor events. Existing clients include Netflix, BBC, HS2, Balfour Beatty and the National Grid.
Geopura are seeking an Environment, Health and Safety (EH&S) Manager. This is a new role, created to bring in a talented individual who will establish and drive the company-wide EH&S culture and processes GeoPura needs to enable us safely to provide both the service level our customers expect, and achieve our ambitious growth goals.
The ideal candidate will be enthusiastic about defining and implementing safety management processes in an SME, and working with the senior management team of a young company to establish an effective and continuously improving health and safety culture.

You will also have a good working knowledge of relevant industry standards and legislation, including DSEAR, and the PED.
Key Responsibilities include:
- Define EH+S management processes – in agreement with senior management team – and ensure compliance with these processes, with regular reports to the wider management team.
- Ensure compliance with relevant environmental, and health and safety legislation for all GeoPura’s activities, undertaking audits where necessary.
