This newly established position offers significant influence across the organization. You will become our internal subject matter expert within machine safety and compliance, ensuring that safety requirements are effectively integrated into projects and business processes.

Your Role:

As Senior Safety & Compliance Engineer, you will be responsible for driving machine safety and compliance activities throughout the project lifecycle, from concept and design to commissioning and customer acceptance.

•    Ensuring compliance with European and international standards
•    Driving continuous improvement initiatives within machine safety and compliance
•    Acting as the go-to expert for safety-related questions across the organization

The position includes approximately 15-20 travel days per year, primarily related to customer meetings, project activities, factory and site acceptance testing, and commissioning support.

Experience working with Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) is also an advantage.
