Health, Safety & Environment Officer

Fastned exists because twelve years ago, driving an electric car across Europe meant planning your route around whether you would make it. We have spent since 2012 building the answer: a fast-charging network you can actually rely on, running entirely on solar and wind. More than 400 stations across nine countries now, on our way to 1,000 by 2030. Every one of them is a bet that clean energy wins on the commercial case as well as the moral one, and so far the bet is paying off. Building that network takes more than construction. It takes the teams behind it, and those teams are being built right now, which means you would have a hand in deciding how the work gets done rather than stepping into something already settled.

People work at height, near live electricity, next to motorway traffic, on sites run by contractors. Keeping them safe across the Netherlands and Belgium is the first half of this job. The second half is bigger: you will own safety culture and training for the entire HSE department, across every country Fastned operates in, and decide how safety is communicated and understood company-wide. Our HSE function is being rebuilt from the ground up, and this role shapes what it becomes. Most safety jobs give you the site or the strategy. This one gives you both.

As Health, Safety & Environment (HSE) Officer - Netherlands & Belgium, you carry two complementary and equally important responsibilities at Fastned.

First, you are the on-the-ground HSE representative for the Netherlands and Belgium, the person ensuring that our construction projects, stations and offices in both countries are safe, compliant and continuously improving. You work closely with construction managers, field operations, asset management, design and local leadership teams, with a focus on practical HSE execution in the field: incident management, inspections, training, toolbox talks and engagement with contractors and authorities.

Second, and uniquely for this role, you own the HSE Culture and Training pillar for the entire HSE department,  across all Fastned markets. You are responsible for making safety visible, relevant and engaging company-wide: from campaigns and safety moments to lessons learned sessions and internal HSE communications. This is not a support task, it is a leadership responsibility within the team

You report to the Head of Health, Safety & Environment and collaborate frequently with the Electrical Safety Engineer and other teams across Europe.
