Are you thrilled by the idea of setting and driving an ambitious HS-strategy in a newly established EHS-team along with the 15 other HS-colleagues across the 4 Danish filling sites?

• Collaborate with 23 AMRs, several Work Wise Trainers, and an engaged management group to achieve HS objectives.
• Drive risk assessment, prevention of injuries and pain from heavy lifting and repeated workload, as well as stress and well-being initiatives.
• Develop and implement initiatives, recommendations, and corrective actions in partnership with Line of Business leaders and the HS organisation.
• Ensure high-quality data for reporting purposes and facilitate internal HS compliance audits in certified areas.

We bring value to our patients by delivering high-quality products in compliance with GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) in a timely and cost-effective manner as we constantly optimise our processes and invest in new technology.

• An academic background with 2+ years of relevant experience, ideally building up and guiding teams, connecting with the business to fulfil the needs.
• Knowledge about legislative requirements in the field of Health and Safety in Denmark.
• A significant and broad knowledge within Health and Safety, ideally from a production environment.
• A strong understanding of the role as business support, balancing the HS requirements with the core task of producing life-saving products.

• High personal drive, enabling you to pursue key focus areas and achieve results.
• Strong collaboration skills with stakeholders at all levels.
• Fluent in both Danish and English.

On a personal level, you should have the ability to work independently as well as being a team player. Also, you should have a solution-oriented, pragmatic, and visionary mindset.
