You analyze and do follow ups how the health and safety work is done at the different sites and identify potential improvements. You act as a project manager for strategically important health and safety projects. You will also have some responsibilities within environment, but the emphasis for this role and the experience we look for is on health and safety.

Furthermore, you have excellent communication skills and can use these to successfully persuade and get the message through to top and middle management. Fluent in spoken and written English goes without saying.
