Our client is an established industrial manufacturing business operating within a regulated chemical production environment. The site forms part of an international group and maintains high standards across safety, environmental compliance, and operational performance.

The facility operates under major hazard regulations and requires strong technical oversight, proactive risk management, and close cooperation with authorities and internal stakeholders. The company culture is hands-on, production-focused, and places strong emphasis on practical safety leadership rather than purely administrative compliance.

This is a visible, hands-on leadership role requiring daily engagement on the shop floor, close collaboration with production teams, and confident interaction with regulatory authorities. The position combines strategic oversight with operational execution and requires a proactive, forward-thinking safety mindset.

  • Oversee emergency preparedness plans and major hazard documentation
  • Lead internal and external audits and drive closure of findings
  • Analyse incidents, near misses and deviations; implement corrective and preventive actions
  • Provide structured guidance to plant leadership and production teams on HSE matters
  • Support safe machinery relocation, plant modifications and technical change processes
  • Strengthen safety culture through training, coaching and visible leadership presence

Experience and Requirements

  • Several years' experience as HSE Manager / HSE Lead within chemical or process-based manufacturing
  • Proven knowledge of major hazard legislation and regulatory frameworks
  • Strong experience with ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 systems, including audit preparation and execution
  • Solid understanding of plant operations, machinery safety and technical production environments
  • Experience interacting with authorities and managing compliance inspections
  • Ability to anticipate risks and maintain strategic oversight in a dynamic plant environment
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to influence at all organisational levels
  • Fluent German and good English required
  • Willingness to work full-time on-site

Benefits

  • Competitive salary package
  • Relocation support available for the right candidate
  • High-responsibility plant leadership role within a regulated industrial environment
  • Direct impact on operational safety and long-term plant performance
  • Close collaboration with plant management and senior leadership
