Act as the preventiemedewerker for EHQ, supporting the employer in preventing occupational risks, advising and collaborating with the Works Council or employee representation, and partnering with occupational health and safety experts where required.

Own the RI&E and associated Plan of Action for EHQ, ensuring it is developed, validated where required, kept current, communicated to relevant stakeholders and updated when facilities, work activities, employee populations, events or risk profiles change.

Lead RI&E socialization with the Works Council, leadership teams and accountable business owners, translating risk findings into clear priorities, action owners, timelines, communications and follow-up routines.

Lead EHQ emergency response planning, including BHV/emergency response officer coordination, evacuation drills, training, lessons learned and adaptation to operational, infrastructure, climate, natural hazard and security-related risks.

Manage event risk assessments, event safety standards, playbooks and guidance for employee-facing events and brand or sports marketing events hosted on or supported by the EHQ campus.

Lead accident, injury, near-miss and loss-event investigations for EHQ, identifying root causes, determining corrective and preventive actions, confirming closure and sharing lessons learned. Escalate serious cases through Nike legal, HR and EHS governance channels and report to authorities where required.

Develop and maintain EHQ EHS performance tracking and reporting, including incident trends, audit findings, corrective actions, contractor safety indicators and progress against the RI&E Plan of Action.

Lead EHQ committees, consultation forums and communication routines to support employee participation, Works Council engagement and transparent follow-up on hazards, corrective actions, incident trends and improvement plans.

Partner with EMEA Communications to maintain EHS and EMEA webpages so EHQ, regional and global policies, standards, programme materials and local resources are accessible, current and appropriately linked.

Support the EMEA corporate office program across 13 corporate spaces by helping define consistent standards, templates, reporting, training materials and governance processes for office safety, emergency response, ergonomics, incidents, audits and contractor-related controls.
