The Senior Health & Safety Business Partner will provide expert advice across DHL’s aviation and travel operations in the United Kingdom. Requirements are likely to include substantial occupational health and safety experience, ideally within aviation, logistics, transport, manufacturing, or another high-risk environment; strong knowledge of UK health and safety legislation; experience completing audits, risk assessments, investigations, and improvement programmes; and relevant professional qualifications such as NEBOSH or membership of IOSH. The successful candidate is expected to influence senior leaders, coach managers, promote a proactive safety culture, analyse performance data, and work confidently across multiple sites and operational teams. Excellent communication, stakeholder-management, problem-solving, and occasional travel abilities are essential.
DHL is a global logistics and supply-chain company operating in more than 220 countries and territories. It is part of DHL Group, whose businesses cover express delivery, freight transport, contract logistics, e-commerce, supply-chain management, and specialist services. In the United Kingdom, DHL supports customers across sectors including aviation, retail, healthcare, technology, automotive, and manufacturing. The company employs a large operational workforce across airports, warehouses, transport networks, offices, and customer sites. Safety is particularly important to DHL because its people work with aircraft, vehicles, machinery, packages, warehouses, and complex international supply chains. DHL promotes continuous improvement, responsible business practices, inclusion, employee development, and reliable customer service. This role would sit within that operational environment, helping leaders manage risk, meet legal obligations, and strengthen health and safety standards across aviation and travel activities.
The United Kingdom offers opportunities in logistics, aviation, transport, healthcare, technology, finance, engineering, and professional services. Major employment centres include London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Glasgow, Edinburgh, and areas around Heathrow and other large airports. British workplace culture generally values punctuality, professionalism, clear communication, personal responsibility, and respect for work-life boundaries. Lifestyle varies from busy urban living to quieter coastal and rural communities, with excellent public transport in major cities, although housing and commuting can be expensive. International candidates normally need the appropriate visa before starting work. A Skilled Worker visa may be available when an employer is licensed and the role meets salary and occupation requirements; eligibility should be checked against current UK rules. Relocating usually involves arranging accommodation, a National Insurance number, banking, healthcare registration, and tax documentation. Weather is changeable, and regional cost-of-living differences are significant.
