Site Hygiene Manager

​A Site Hygiene Manager is responsible for maintaining the highest standards of cleanliness, sanitation, and compliance across an entire facility—typically in food production, healthcare, or manufacturing environments.

Here’s what the role usually involves:

  • Leading the hygiene team: Recruiting, training, and managing staff to ensure all cleaning tasks are performed effectively and safely.

  • Developing hygiene protocols: Creating and updating cleaning schedules, risk assessments, and procedures that meet legal, customer, and certification standards like BRC or ISO.

  • Managing chemical use: Overseeing the safe storage, use, and monitoring of cleaning chemicals and equipment, often in partnership with external suppliers.

  • Audit readiness: Ensuring the site is always prepared for internal and external audits by maintaining documentation and hygiene records.

  • Continuous improvement: Identifying ways to improve hygiene practices, reduce costs, and enhance efficiency without compromising safety.

  • Waste and pest control: Managing waste disposal systems and pest control contracts to prevent contamination and ensure environmental compliance.

It’s a hands-on leadership role that blends operational oversight with technical know-how.
