Job description

Thomassen Energy is now Hanwhaa Power Netherlands | Rheden, The Netherlands | Full-time

Are you an EHS professional with a hands‑on mindset and an interest in technical facilities and engineering?

At Hanwha Power Netherlands, we are looking for a proactive EHS & Facilities Officer to strengthen our team in Rheden.

Your primary focus will be on Environmental, Health & Safety (EHS), supporting and improving workplace safety, environmental compliance and our EHS Management System.

In addition, you will take on a coordinating role in technical facility-related activities, such as machinery inspections, equipment certification, maintenance planning and building safety.

We are looking for someone with a solid foundation in EHS who enjoys working in an industrial environment and is interested in broadening their responsibilities into technical facilities management.

About the role

As our EHS & Facilities Officer, you will help ensure a safe, healthy and compliant working environment across our operations.

You will work closely with colleagues in our workshop, engineering and supporting departments, combining EHS expertise with practical involvement on the shop floor.

You will report directly to the Head of HR & EHS and be part of an international organization within the Hanwha Group.

Your key responsibilities

Environmental, Health & Safety – Your primary focus

• Support the implementation, maintenance and continuous improvement of our EHS Management System in accordance with ISO 14001 and ISO 45001.
• Coordinate and conduct workplace inspections, safety walks and EHS improvement activities.
• Manage incident reporting, near misses, safety observations and corrective actions through our digital EHS platform, Evotix.
• Support incident investigations, root cause analyses, risk assessments (RI&E) and task risk analyses.
• Monitor EHS compliance and support the implementation of relevant Dutch legislation, company procedures and customer requirements.
• Prepare EHS reports, monitor performance indicators and follow up on improvement actions.
• Contribute to safety awareness, toolbox talks, training initiatives and our EHS Committee.
• Participate in internal, external and customer EHS audits.

Technical Facilities & Compliance – Additional responsibilities

Alongside your EHS activities, you will help coordinate safety- and compliance-related aspects of our technical facilities and infrastructure.

• Coordinate periodic inspections, statutory certifications and maintenance schedules for machinery, work equipment and technical installations.
• Maintain an overview of inspection requirements, certificates, maintenance records and follow-up actions.
• Liaise with internal stakeholders and external contractors to ensure required inspections and maintenance activities are carried out.
• Support building-related safety and compliance activities, including fire safety and technical installations.
• Identify potential safety or compliance risks related to machinery, equipment and facilities and coordinate appropriate follow-up.

You will primarily coordinate and monitor these activities rather than perform technical maintenance yourself.

What are we looking for?

• MBO level 4 or HBO education in Occupational Safety, Environmental Health & Safety or a closely related discipline.
• Approximately 2–5 years of practical EHS experience, preferably in a manufacturing, engineering or industrial environment.
• Good working knowledge of Dutch occupational health and safety legislation and EHS practices.
• Familiarity with ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 management systems.
• An MVK qualification is strongly preferred, or you are willing to obtain it.
• An interest in machinery safety, technical installations and facility-related compliance. Previous experience in these areas is an advantage, but not essential.
• A proactive, practical and structured approach, with the ability to work independently.
• Strong communication skills and the confidence to engage with employees, supervisors and management.
• Good command of Dutch and English, both written and spoken.
• Comfortable working with digital reporting systems and Microsoft Office.

Above all, we are looking for an EHS professional who enjoys being visible on the shop floor, takes initiative and knows how to translate safety requirements into practical improvements.

What do we offer?

• A varied EHS role with additional responsibilities in technical facilities and compliance.
• The opportunity to make a direct impact on workplace safety and continuous improvement.
• Room for professional development, including further EHS training and certification.
• An international industrial working environment with short communication lines and close collaboration across departments.
• Employment conditions in accordance with the Metalektro collective labour agreement.
