About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Standards & Programs: You develop company-wide EHS standards and programs (e.g., “Life Saving Rules”) and ensure their implementation. This guarantees a consistently high level of safety across all sites and allows you to share best practices throughout the organization.
Advisory & Coaching: In a matrix organization, you advise executive management, plant managers and local EHS managers on all matters of occupational safety. Through targeted coaching you foster awareness of safety as a core value and support change processes in the safety culture—going beyond mere regulatory compliance.
Training & Cultural Change: You design and facilitate trainings and workshops (using a train-the-trainer approach) to raise awareness and engage both leaders and employees in safe behaviours. In doing so, you drive change and promote a proactive safety culture.
Interface Management: In this role you act as a competent point of contact across different hierarchical levels. You collaborate closely with the international EHS team and help ensure that occupational safety is firmly embedded and practiced throughout the organization.
