The Opportunity
Join a fast-scaling, international engineering organization delivering complex infrastructure and technology projects in challenging environments.
As an HSE Specialist, you will play a key role in embedding a risk-based safety culture across both office and field operations-ensuring compliance, driving continuous improvement, and enabling teams to operate safely and effectively at scale.

Job description

This is a highly visible role with cross-functional exposure, working closely with engineering, operations, logistics, and leadership.

What You'll Do

Lead and coordinate risk assessments (HIRA, TBRA) and integrated risk management activities
Drive continuous improvement cycles (PDCA) and support change management processes
Conduct internal HSE audits (ISO 45001) and track corrective actions
Review contractor and supplier HSE compliance in collaboration with procurement teams
Act as HSE focal point for HQ, ensuring compliance with Dutch legislation (Arbowet, RI&E, BHV)
Support business continuity, crisis response, and emergency preparedness
Develop and deliver HSE training, toolbox talks, and awareness initiatives
Contribute to strengthening safety culture and workforce engagement

What You Bring

Bachelor's or Master's in HSE, Engineering, or Risk Management
~5 years' experience in HSE within engineering, production, or project-driven environments
Strong knowledge of Dutch HSE legislation (Arbowet / Arbobesluit)
Experience with ISO 9001 / 14001 / 45001 frameworks
Certifications such as NEBOSH, VCA, or similar are a plus
Experience supporting technical or field-based operations (onshore/offshore) is advantageous
Fluent Dutch and English

Who You Are

Proactive, structured, and solution-oriented
Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, evolving organization
Strong communicator with stakeholder management skills across all levels
Analytical with a focus on data-driven improvement
Motivated by contributing to meaningful, real-world projects

What's on Offer

Rotterdam (full-time, office + project exposure)
International, multidisciplinary environment
Rapidly growing organization with strong funding and long-term projects
Hands-on role with real operational impact
Competitive package aligned with a mission-driven organization
Strong internal culture, collaborative teams, and modern workplace

Why This Role
This is not a traditional compliance-only HSE role. You'll be embedded in live operations and engineering projects, shaping how safety is implemented in practice-while helping scale systems, teams, and standards globally.
