Job description

CAPE Holland, proudly part of Venterra, is built on six generations of piling expertise and is a market leader in offshore and onshore foundation equipment for the wind, oil and gas, and infrastructure markets.

From our headquarters in Beilen, we manage the complete process in-house: from research and design to engineering, manufacturing, and delivery. This is where ideas are turned into practical, high-performance solutions for some of the most demanding offshore energy projects worldwide.

ALL WAYS DRIVEN is not just a slogan, it reflects how we work. Our offshore projects support critical global energy developments, where strong foundations are essential. We are passionate about piling and continuously improve the performance of pile installation and removal to make operations faster, safer, smoother, and more sustainable.

At CAPE Holland, we are more than equipment specialists — we are solution providers. We think in possibilities and challenge ourselves to find smarter, more practical ways to deliver value in complex offshore environments. This includes research, design, engineering, and hands‑on execution in the field.

We believe in collaboration and long‑term partnerships. We listen, we engage, and we take responsibility for what we deliver. Safety, reliability, and respect for the environment are central to how we work. Because building offshore means building with impact — and that responsibility is taken seriously.

The Role:

As HSSEQ Manager at CAPE Holland, you play a key role in ensuring safe, high-quality and compliant working conditions – from engineering design to offshore project execution. You lead and further develop the HSSEQ framework across our organisation and projects, making sure that safety, quality and compliance are embedded in everything we do. Working at CAPE Holland is varied, international and impressive!

The HSSEQ Manager is responsible for leading, managing and developing HSSEQ processes throughout CAPE Holland. The primary objective of the role is to ensure regulatory compliance, promote safe working conditions, ensure the effective application of the business management systems and associated processes, and continuously improve overall HSSEQ performance across the organisation.

WHAT YOU WILL DO:

The key tasks and responsibilities of an HSSEQ Manager are diverse. You lead, manage and further develop the HSSEQ processes throughout CAPE Holland. This includes, among other things:

HSSEQ Management & Compliance

• Develop, implement and continuously improve HSSEQ policies, procedures and integrated management systems;
• Ensure compliance with applicable legislation, client requirements and ISO standards (9001, 14001, 45001);
• Maintain and further develop a structured, auditable and future‑proof business management system.
• Identify, assess and manage HSSEQ risks across operations and projects;
• Lead incident investigations and ensure effective root cause analysis and corrective actions;
• Ensure appropriate action is taken in the event of unsafe situations.

Audits, Monitoring & Reporting

• Conduct and oversee audits, inspections and quality controls;
• Monitor HSSEQ performance and report findings to senior management;
• Ensure accurate registration and follow-up of incidents and non‑conformities.
• Develop and coordinate HSSEQ training and awareness programmes;
• Promote a strong safety and quality culture across the organisation;
• Engage employees and management in safety initiatives.

Project & Business Support

• Provide HSSEQ support during tendering and project execution phases;
• Support hazard identification and risk assessments (e.g. Task Risk Assessments);
• Ensure HSSEQ requirements are embedded in operational activities.

Stakeholder Management

• Maintain relationships with external stakeholders, including regulatory bodies and auditors;
• Represent CAPE Holland in HSSEQ‑related matters when required.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR:

You are a proactive and hands‑on HSSEQ professional who feels comfortable operating in a dynamic and multidisciplinary environment. You know how to engage stakeholders at all levels of the organisation and can balance operational priorities with safety, quality and compliance requirements. Due to the international nature of the business, occasional contact outside office hours and customer or site visits may be required. In addition, you possess:

• HBO (bachelor) working and thinking level, preferably in Health & Safety, or a certified MVK professional with substantial relevant experience;
• A minimum of 3-5 years’ HSSEQ experience in a relevant industry, e.g. construction technology, mechanical engineering or offshore environments;
• Experience with quality management systems, HSE legislation, risk management application and ISO auditing;
• Knowledge of applicable national and international HSSEQ regulations and standards – including VCA‑VOL certification;
• The ability to take full HSSEQ responsibility and accountability;
• Strong communication and collaboration skills across all organisational levels;
• Proficiency in both Dutch and English, written and verbal;
• The ability to operate effectively in a dynamic and changing environment.

In addition, you recognise yourself in the following competencies:

• Leadership;
• Quality focus;
• Insight and analytical thinking;
• Integrity;
• Progress monitoring and control;
• Result orientation.

WHAT WE OFFER:

As an HSSEQ Manager at CAPE Holland, you will take on a challenging role where no two days are the same!

You’ll have the freedom to take your own initiatives, with ample room for development and self‑improvement.

• We offer a competitive salary, holiday pay, travel allowance and participation in a pension scheme.

And let’s not forget… you’ll be joining an enthusiastic and close‑knit team. Everyone contributes to the process and is #CAPEABLE in their own way. You’ll receive a warm welcome, helping you feel at home quickly. We also look forward to seeing you at our team outings.
