Are you a driven HSE (Health, Safety, and Environment) professional with experience in construction projects? Do you enjoy working in a dynamic role, with responsibilities spanning from on-site safety performance to developing the long-term HSE strategy?

Fantastic, welcome to Alight! We're an entrepreneurial scale-up driven by a strong purpose: to kick carbon off the grid by helping businesses save money with solar from day 1.

This means that you will be at the forefront of innovation, ensuring our projects not only meet international HSE standards but exceed them. We can't wait to meet you!

This role can be performed on a remote basis from anywhere in Sweden or the UK, excluding site visits in Sweden and other European countries.

Your impact

Working closely with cross-functional teams, you will drive a culture of health and safety within our organization. You will make a real-time impact by visiting our sites during the construction and realization phase, ensuring that our EPC contractors and suppliers are upholding a standard of HSE excellence. 

By making it your mission to ensure that we work with evidence-based methods to establish a robust HSE-First Culture, you will empower us to enhance safety performance in every community we touch.

We’re looking for you

To excel in this role, we believe that you're an HSE professional with solid hands-on experience ensuring health and safety at construction sites. You enjoy collaborating with cross-functional project teams and feel confident challenging, educating, and coaching them on HSE excellence.
