• Support incident management, lead root cause analysis, and champion preventative actions to ensure ongoing safety improvements.

• Drive internal awareness through impactful training, toolbox talks, and engaging communications.

• Collaborate across departments to embed safety thinking into all projects, from new builds to system upgrades.

• Conduct audits, site inspections, and provide real-time health and safety advice for new equipment, processes, and locations.

Who you are:

• You bring 5 to 8 years of progressive experience in health and safety, ideally in multi-site or construction environments.

• Comfortable navigating European health and safety legislation and working across different regulatory environments.

• Proactive and solutions-focused, with strong analytical and stakeholder engagement skills.

• Demonstrated ability to drive cultural change and influence all organizational levels.

• Can drive a supportive, high-performing team by aligning goals, developing talent, and coaching others.

• Hands-on and open to travelling regularly to our Fastned locations across Europe.

• Fluent in English. Additional European languages (Dutch, German, French, Spanish, or Italian) are considered a plus.
