Introduction to the job

Are you passionate about safety and motivated by guiding others toward a safe and compliant way of working? The EUV Factory (EF) handles the full production flow of our extreme ultraviolet (EUV) systems—from build to final system installation.

The EF Environment, Health & Safety (EHS) department plays a Pivotal role in supporting operational teams and ensuring safe work practices within both the factory and customer fabs.

As part of the EF EHS team, and in close cooperation with the EF Install Team, you will help secure a safe working environment in cleanrooms and during installation activities on customer sites worldwide.

• Conduct on‑site safety supervision and proactively address unsafe conditions.

• Around eight years of relevant work experience in a manufacturing or safety‑related environment is preferred.

Experience (Preferred, But Trainable On The Job)

• More than five years of relevant experience (work permits, safety inspections, VCA), preferably within cleanroom environments.
• Experience in safety or technical work environments.
• Dutch language skills are preferred due to daily interactions on the work floor.
• Good command of English is required.

To thrive in this role, you should bring:

• Strong communication skills and a service‑oriented mindset.
• Flexibility: willing to work overtime and travel when needed (including air travel).
• Ownership, initiative, and a drive for continuous improvement.
• Ability to inspire others and promote safety awareness.
• Stress resistance, especially in multicultural, fast‑changing environments.
• Motivation to share knowledge and train colleagues.
