Keep sites compliant and prepared

• Monitor applicable EHS regulations and ensure site practices meet local requirements and Rubix standards.


• Lead or support incident investigations, root cause analysis, lessons learned, and corrective action plans.


• Develop and maintain emergency response plans, drills, training records, and EHS documentation.

Strengthen safety capability

• Partner with contractors, consultants, and internal teams to ensure consistent EHS expectations and accountability.


• Deliver practical EHS guidance, onboarding, toolbox talks, and safety communications for project teams.


• Track EHS metrics and provide clear reporting to leadership on risks, trends, and improvement actions.

• 5+ years of EHS experience in construction, data centers, utilities, energy, industrial, or mission‑critical environments.


• Experience conducting audits, risk assessments, incident investigations, and contractor safety reviews.


• Working knowledge of EMEA EHS regulations and common management systems such as ISO 45001 and ISO 14001.


• Experience supporting high‑risk work activities, including electrical safety, LOTO, lifting operations, and permit‑to‑work systems.


• Ability to travel across EMEA as needed.
