Are you a seasoned safety leader with a passion for creating a truly safe, healthy, and future-proof work environment? At Bunge, safety is paramount. As our Safety Manager at the Amsterdam plant, you will play a critical role in ensuring the highest standards of health, safety, and excellence across all our people, processes, and operations.

This leadership role places you at the heart of our commitment to safety. You will be responsible for planning, organizing, supervising, managing, and continuously improving the full spectrum of Bunge Global’s safety, occupational health, and standards, policies, and procedures. Your strategic mindset and strong on-the-floor presence will contribute to preventing incidents, safeguarding our people and facilities, and embedding a proactive safety culture across our site.

Your Impact at Bunge: In this dynamic senior role, you will champion a safety‑first mindset, lead the site’s safety function, and drive continuous improvement. Key responsibilities include:

• Safety Leadership & Strategic Implementation: As the primary safety leader on site, shape the safety strategy and translate Bunge’s Global standards into actionable, high-impact initiatives. Oversee the performance of safety KPIs, ensure alignment with the Plant Manager and regional Health and Safety organization, and guarantee the effectiveness of safety systems, compliance programs, audits, and critical safety controls.
• Visible Field Presence: Spend significant time on the plant floor, serving as a trusted partner for employees, supervisors, and contractors. Support job preparations, lead or oversee Task Risk Assessments (TRAs), review and validate Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), guide toolbox talks, and conduct regular field walks to identify risks, verify safety behaviors, and maintain a strong safety presence.
• Cultivating a Proactive Safety Culture: Champion initiatives that drive proactive safety engagement. This includes promoting leading indicator reporting, fostering learning, strengthening Human and Organizational Performance (HOP) principles, and building the ownership culture needed for continuous improvement and long‑term safety maturity.
• Incident Management & Analysis: Lead the full cycle of incident management, from reporting and classification to investigation, root cause analysis, and corrective action planning. Ensure timely follow‑up and close‑out, and embed structural improvements based on lessons learned across the site.
• Training & Development: Identify training needs and coordinate essential safety learning programs for employees, contractors, and visitors. Ensure onboarding, task‑specific training, and refresher programs align with legal requirements and Bunge standards, and effectively build competence and awareness.
• Compliance & Improvement: Ensure full compliance with Dutch and European safety legislation. Manage the Plant Risk Assessment, including Arbowet, ATEX, machine safety, LOTO, fire protection, and emergency response requirements. Lead or support internal and external audits and ensure follow‑ups and improvements are executed effectively.
• Collaborative Safety Governance: Take an active leadership role in bi‑weekly safety meetings, the site safety committee, and other governance forums. Address safety concerns, develop corrective actions, challenge the organization constructively, and help shape strategic decisions that influence operational execution.

What You Bring to Bunge: You are an experienced safety professional with a strong foundation in Health and Safety leadership and a proven ability to create and maintain high‑performing safe work environments.

• Education: Higher Safety Engineering qualification such as HVK (strongly preferred), or MVK combined with substantial and relevant experience in an industrial setting.
• Experience: At least 5 years of relevant experience in an industrial production environment, with demonstrated leadership responsibility. Proven experience in managing safety programs, coaching teams, and influencing across all levels. Experience in complex industrial operations, including process safety, contractors, and 24/7 production, is highly valued.
• Expert Knowledge: In‑depth understanding of safety legislation, standards, and best practices within occupational health and safety, including ATEX, machine safety, LOTO, emergency response, and risk management methodologies.
• Practical Safety Skills: Demonstrated competence in conducting thorough safety inspections, comprehensive risk assessments, and effective root‑cause investigations. Strong analytical capability and comfort working with safety KPIs.
• Training & Mentorship: A genuine passion for developing others, strengthening safety behaviors, and empowering teams to take ownership of safety in their daily work.
• Safety Leadership: Proven ability to lead safety meetings, steer impactful initiatives, influence stakeholders, and drive cultural and operational improvements.
