·       Compliance & Risk Management: Monitor, interpret, and ensure absolute compliance with local and regional health, safety, and environmental laws (e.g., Arbeidsmiljøloven / Working Environment Act in Norway, FSE, and relevant ISO standards like 45001 and 14001).

·       Audits, Inspections & Remediations: Conduct regular site safety walks, hazard identifications, and comprehensive HSE audits. Lead the cleanup and remediation of any legacy non-compliant solutions or physical risks identified on site.

·       Incident Investigation & Reporting: Participate in the investigation of incidents, near misses, good catches, non-conformities, deviations and environmental events. Support root cause analysis, implement corrective and preventative actions, and maintain accurate records within the EcoOnline EHS management system and in line with regulatory requirements.

·       HSE Training & Onboarding: Completing comprehensive site safety inductions, verifying Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) governance, and emergency response training. Confirm and document all managers and technicians possess deep, practical knowledge of workplace safety protocols.

·       Environmental Monitoring: Oversee environmental compliance, tracking waste management, energy metrics, and sustainable site operations to align with both municipal requirements and corporate ESG goals.

·       Training & Development:  We are committed to investing in the right candidate. Where experience or qualifications are desirable rather than essential, Nscale will provide the necessary training and professional development to support success in the role.
