  • Several years of responsible EHS leadership experience in an international, multi-site company, ideally in the chemical, metals, process industry, or a comparable manufacturing environment with significant hazards.

  • Continuously develop the EHS culture and strengthen awareness of safe and responsible conduct at all levels.
  • Set the strategic framework for central risks in industrial and chemical settings, including process safety, major-accident prevention, hazardous-substance exposure, occupational health, and environmental protection.
