- Translate relevant legislation and standards into practical policy.
- Carry out and guide workplace inspections, walkarounds and safety walks.
- Coordinate, guide and conduct internal and external audits, including audits for ISO 9001, ISO 14001, VCA and SCL.
- Develop and support toolbox talks, safety alerts and workshops.
- Analyse performance, deviations and trends and turn them into concrete improvements.
- Advise management, project teams and colleagues on QHSE matters. Help foster an open safety culture where people speak up and continuous improvement is part of day-to-day work.
- In a more senior version of the role, provide subject-matter coaching to QHSE colleagues and coordinate QHSE colleagues and improvement projects.
