About the role

As an HSE Field Engineer, you will primarily work on our project sites across Sweden (with some flexibility for travel and occasional office-based work).

• Support and coach contractors and subcontractors in meeting HSE requirements and project-specific risk management plans
• Participate in and lead incident investigations and follow-up actions
• Perform HSE inspections, observations, and audits (planned and unannounced)
• Contribute to the development and continuous improvement of project HSE plans and procedures
• Report HSE KPIs (leading and lagging indicators), near misses, and incidents
• Ensure compliance with Swedish legislation (e.g. Work Environment Authority regulations, Environmental Code) as well as client and international standards (ISO 45001, ISO 14001, etc.)
• Support permit-to-work systems, LOTO, work at height, ATEX zones, and other high-risk activities

Who are you?

• Relevant university or college degree (e.g. Occupational Health & Safety Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or equivalent)
• Minimum 3-5 years of experience in HSE roles within project environments - preferably construction, infrastructure, process, energy, or oil & gas
• Experience from site-based EPCM, EPC, or contractor environments is highly valued
• Strong knowledge of Swedish work environment legislation and regulations (AFS)
• Practical experience with risk assessments, incident investigations, and behavioural safety
• Fluent Swedish (spoken and written - mandatory) and very good English
• Valid driver's license (B)
• Beneficial certifications: Working at Height, Hot Work, First Aid/CPR, Scaffolding, Safe Lifting, ISO 45001/14001 Lead Auditor, or similar

Personal qualities we value

• High integrity and the courage to speak up when something is unsafe
• Pedagogical and relationship-oriented - able to influence without authority
• Solution-focused rather than rule-driven
• Structured, communicative, and comfortable speaking in front of groups
• Enjoys being out in the field and brings strong presence and energy
