Job description

At Consilium Safety Group, we don’t just make technology, we create solutions that protect people, values, and the planet. As a global leader in fire and gas safety technology, we serve critical industries such as marine, energy, rolling stock, and critical infrastructure.

With more than 100 years of expertise, we combine deep industry knowledge with cutting-edge innovation to shape the future of Safety Tech. We are headquartered in Gothenburg, Sweden, with over 55 offices worldwide.

We are a fast-evolving global organization backed by the private equity firm Antin Infrastructure Partners and are continuing an ambitious journey of expansion and transformation. With strong financial support and a clear strategic vision, we are investing in innovation, operational excellence, and talent - the key drivers that will take us to the next level.

This is truly an exciting time to join us!

About the Role

We’re looking for a UX Designer to join our team on a temporary basis, around 1 year, covering a leave.

As the sole designer, you will take ownership of the user experience for our Safety Management System, while also supporting other products as needed. Our products are used by professional operators in safety-critical environments, where usability, clarity, and reliability matter.

We are in the middle of an exciting journey as we continue to evolve our next generation safety systems. As the sole designer, you'll play a central role in shaping both new functionality and the overall user experience of these.

What You’ll Do

• Own and drive the user experience of safety-critical products.
• Work closely with developers and domain experts to design new functionality and evaluate existing workflows.
• Build a strong understanding of operational workflows, user needs, and system behaviours.
• Balance user needs, operational workflows, technical constraints, and safety requirements when designing solutions.
• Create design documentation that clearly describes flows, edge cases, exceptions, and state handling, helping development teams implement solutions with confidence.

What You Bring

• Have experience working with complex or safety-critical systems where reliability, clarity, and usability matter.
• Are comfortable working independently and taking ownership of your area.
• Can build your own understanding of users, products, and operational contexts.
• Have strong attention to detail and enjoy working through edge cases, system behavior, and interaction details.
• Can communicate design decisions clearly and create documentation that helps align design and development.
• Are fluent in English, both written and spoken.

What We Offer

• A chance to work on products where design decisions can have a direct impact on safety, efficiency, and day-to-day operations.
• Close collaboration with experienced engineers and domain experts.
• Significant ownership and influence over the product experience.

Portfolio or Case

While not required, we encourage you to include a portfolio or case study.

We're particularly interested in understanding how you approach complexity, work through design decisions, collaborate with developers, and communicate solutions for implementation.

The final screens matter, but we're often more interested in the reasoning behind them. We believe a strong submission show examples of how you worked through workflows, trade-offs, edge cases, technical constraints, or implementation considerations.
