## Job description

The Technical & EHS Lead will champion a robust safety culture and drive employee engagement across the site to achieve enhanced safety performance and cultivate a zero-tolerance approach to incidents. This role requires a collaborative, proactive individual who can partner effectively across all functions, adapt to the dynamic manufacturing environment, and own the development and delivery of a best-in-class safety training program and culture.

While not directly managing a team, you will act as a key influencer across other teams, maintaining a hands-on presence on the shopfloor to ensure the highest standards are met.

### Key Responsibilities

This is an on-site position with a hands-on presence on the shopfloor to influence and drive safety awareness. Cultivate a proactive and adaptable safety culture across all functions, overseeing EHS activities for the Zoeterwoude site and providing support/oversight for other Thermopatch sites in the Netherlands (Almere and Helmond). Develop and deliver environmental, health, and safety education and training to meet regulatory and Avery Dennison business standards.

Lead incident investigations (releases, injuries, near-misses) and implement High-Value Learnings while maintaining EHS culture at a high level. Supervise and coordinate daily maintenance and repair work on plant equipment and systems, influencing technical teams without direct reports. This role requires travel for day visits to the Almere and Helmond sites approximately once every two weeks.

## Qualifications

Bachelor's of Science degree in Occupational Health and Safety, Chemical, Mechanical, Environmental Engineering/ Science, or a related field. 3+ years of experience in a similar EHS or H&S role within a manufacturing environment with a strong EHS and ELS (Enterprise Lean System / Continuous Improvement) mindset. Comprehensive knowledge of EHS regulatory requirements, policies, procedures, and programs with a strong focus on the Netherlands.

Proven experience with life safety codes, EHS rules, HAZOP, training, principles of occupational safety and health, and Process Safety Management. Demonstrated ability to influence teams without direct authority and a willingness to travel bi-weekly to other Dutch locations. Excellent communication skills in Dutch and English. Must be based in the Netherlands and authorized to work without sponsorship
