Every day, more than 80,000 colleagues lead the way to greener and smarter mobility worldwide, connecting cities as we reduce carbon and replace cars.

Your future role

Take on a new challenge and apply your expertise in Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) to a cutting‑edge field. You’ll work alongside a collaborative and proactive team dedicated to delivering excellence.

You’ll play a pivotal role in ensuring a safe and healthy environment for our people and contractors while minimizing environmental impacts and protecting Alstom’s assets. Day‑to‑day, you’ll work closely with teams across the business—Project Management, Human Resources, Manufacturing, and Finance—liaise with external stakeholders (local authorities, auditors, and other partners), and lead initiatives to embed EHS standards across projects and operations.

You’ll specifically take care of implementing emergency plans and monitoring compliance with statutory and company requirements, but also lead accident prevention efforts and foster a culture of safety and sustainability.

We’ll look to you for:

• Ensuring EHS risk assessments are conducted and control measures are defined for projects.
• Preparing, implementing, and maintaining emergency plans at the project level.
• Overseeing sub‑contractor activities to ensure EHS compliance, especially in interface areas.
• Coaching and assessing EHS teams, while supporting project staffing and execution phases.
• Deploying Alstom EHS standards and tools, including the Alstom Zero Deviation Plan (AZDP) and Transport Operational Performance in Environment (TOPE).
• Monitoring compliance with legal, regulatory, contractual, and company EHS requirements.
• Leading accident prevention efforts, investigating incidents, and sharing lessons learned through REX reports.
• Preparing and submitting monthly EHS reports and ensuring data quality for the project.
• Building and implementing EHS communication and training plans.
• Carrying out internal EHS audits and managing the associated improvement plans.
• Collaborating in the preparation and implementation of audits (internal and external).
• Willingness to travel between sites in Copenhagen & Århus and manage time according to the business needs (some night/evening work).
