As a Safety Specialist, you are responsible for advising and coaching our project teams on safe behavior. You identify risks and proactively take the initiative to implement improvements. Additionally, you conduct internal audits and guide external audits.

Supporting Safety Culture Ladder (SCL) and WAVE activities;
Translating laws and regulations into practice on our projects.

Why is this job a good fit for you?

We are down-to-earth and committed, with all the benefits of a stable organization behind us. We want to continue to innovate and grow and therefore offer you plenty of opportunities—you just have to grab them! In addition to hard work, there is also having fun together.
