The Role (What’s in the Box)
The Health & Safety Specialist is an expert-level contributor who owns the H&S function operationally. This role goes beyond administration and compliance to drive meaningful cultural and systemic change across the Cloudberry site. The ideal candidate brings deep technical expertise, strong regulatory knowledge, and the experience to independently lead complex initiatives — acting as a trusted authority for site management, operational leaders, and the HQ H&S team alike.
What You’ll Do (The Recipe)
-
Lead and independently conduct thorough incident investigations with robust root cause analysis; own corrective action follow-through with site stakeholders
-
Design, implement and continuously improve the site H&S management system in alignment with ISO 45001 and HelloFresh global standards
-
Develop and own site-level H&S policies, risk assessment frameworks and safe work procedures
-
Proactively identify systemic risks and drive preventive initiatives before incidents occur — not solely in response to them
-
Lead and facilitate workplace risk assessments in partnership with the Joint Health & Safety Committee (JHSC)
-
Build and develop safety capability across operational leaders — coaching supervisors to own safety conversations and daily huddles rather than simply delivering prescribed content
-
Track, analyse and report on H&S KPIs (LTI, Near Miss, audit results); translate data into actionable insights for senior management
-
Lead internal and external audit preparation (including BSI/ISO); conduct spot checks and compliance reviews
-
Administer, train and continuously improve the site H&S reporting system
-
Support and challenge HQ H&S strategy based on operational insights from the site
-
Ensure compliance with Swedish AML, SAM regulations, and all applicable OH&S legislation
