About The Job

As Health, Safety & Product Compliance Engineer, you will play a key role in ensuring Alfa Laval’s products and operations meet the highest standards of health, safety, and regulatory compliance.

At Alfa Laval, we embrace a hybrid work model, providing you the flexibility to work from home when it aligns with your tasks. This position is at our Søborg office in Copenhagen, with an expected travel commitment of approximately 25-35 days per year.

What You Know

About You

You are a proactive and solutions-oriented professional who combines strong business acumen with sound judgement and a structured approach. Comfortable navigating changing regulatory requirements and complex stakeholder environments, you make well-informed decisions while balancing compliance, business needs, and operational priorities. You take ownership of your work, drive initiatives forward with confidence, and inspire others through credibility, collaboration, and clear communication rather than formal authority. Curious by nature, you continuously seek opportunities to learn, improve, and translate new requirements into practical solutions that create value for the business. With a resilient mindset and a passion for continuous improvement, you build trusted relationships across the organization and help foster a strong culture of health, safety, and compliance.
