About the Role

As our new Senior Safety & Compliance Engineer, you will be at the heart of technically complex projects, ensuring that safety and regulatory requirements are integrated into our solutions from early concept to commissioning.

Working closely with project managers and multidisciplinary engineering teams, you will support projects throughout the entire lifecycle, from early design and risk assessments to validation, CE marking, and final customer handover. You will be the go-to specialist on machinery safety and compliance, helping teams translate complex requirements into practical and robust engineering solutions.

Beyond the individual projects, you will contribute to strengthening our safety and compliance capabilities by developing methods, standards, tools, and best practices that support both our customers and our internal teams.

• Supporting commissioning, validation, and final handover of machinery and automation systems at customer sites
• Contributing to the implementation of the new Machinery Regulation and the Cyber Resilience Act
• Developing and improving our methods, standards, and processes within safety and compliance
• Contributing to the development and maintenance of management systems and processes related to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001
• Helping build and strengthen a safety and compliance culture where regulatory requirements are naturally integrated into the way we develop, build, and deliver engineering solutions

What We’re Looking For

You are a pragmatic and solution-oriented specialist with strong technical insight and a natural focus on safety and compliance. You know how to translate regulatory and technical requirements into practical solutions that work in real-life engineering projects.

You enjoy working close to projects and technical teams, while also being motivated by improving processes, standards, and ways of working. You thrive at the intersection of engineering, project execution, and compliance, and you are comfortable taking professional ownership within your area of expertise.

To succeed in this role, we expect you to

• Hold a relevant technical degree in engineering, marine engineering, or a similar field
• Have at least five years of documented experience with machinery safety, CE marking, and functional safety
• Have hands-on experience with validation and handover of machinery or automation systems
• Possess a strong understanding of machine & automation design and the ability to translate safety and compliance requirements into practical technical solutions
• Be a team player who enjoys working across engineering disciplines, projects, and compliance functions, sharing knowledge, and contributing to a positive, collaborative culture where people succeed together.
• Be motivated by combining hands-on project work with the continued development of our approach to safety and compliance
