Health and Safety Engineer

Do you enjoy being where technology, people, and innovation come together? Are you the kind of safety professional who prefers walking the floor over sitting behind a desk, spotting risks before they become incidents, and helping teams find practical solutions? 

As a Safety Officer within our QHSE team, you will play an important role in strengthening our safety culture and supporting safe, compliant, and efficient operations. Working closely with technicians, engineers, and team leads, you'll help create an environment where people can do their best work safely while contributing to the growth of a world-class high-tech company. 

Where will you be working? 

You will be part of the QHSE department and work closely with Production, Install and Decommissioning teams.  

This is a highly visible and hands-on role where no two days are the same. You'll be at the center of the operation, engaging with technicians, engineers, and team leads, spotting risks before they become incidents, helping teams work safely, and contributing to a culture where safety and innovation go hand in hand. 

You'll spend your time where the action happens: collaborating with talented colleagues, solving real operational challenges, and helping create an environment where people can perform their work safely and confidently. 

If you enjoy combining technical depth, people interaction, and a genuine opportunity to influence how a growing organization works, you'll feel right at home at Nearfield Instruments. 

Main responsibilities include: 

• Conduct daily safety inspections to identify potential hazards, deviations, or unsafe behavior;

• Support safe execution of chemical use procedures and enforce relevant safety rules; 

• Verify correct LOTO (Lock-Out/Tag-Out) execution during interventions and maintain LOTO procedures with engineering teams; 

• Provide technical and regulatory safety guidance to resolve operational safety issues; 

• Collaborate with AIT (Assembly, Integration & Test), Installation, Decommissioning and Production Engineering teams during change management and process modifications; 

• Review work instructions to ensure risks are adequately controlled and processes remain compliant; 

• Deliver toolbox talks and safety briefings to promote awareness and reinforce safe working practices; 

• Report safety findings, deviations, and incidents in a clear and structured manner, and track corrective and preventive actions; 

• Actively drive safety mindset change and promote behavioral safety and operational discipline; 

• Serve as an active member of the Safety Committee and contribute operational insights and improvement proposals.
