As an HSE Engineer, you play a key role in developing, maintaining and continuously improving our Health, Safety and Environmental standards at Fokker Services Group.

You work in a complex operational aviation environment where aircraft and component maintenance activities are performed alongside a broad range of technical, logistical and specialist support processes. Safety, sustainability and compliance are therefore essential to everything we do.

As our HSE specialist and safety ambassador, you act as the bridge between management and the operational work floor. You advise the organization on HSE-related matters, identify risks and translate legislation, standards and company requirements into practical solutions.

An important part of your role is the further development and assurance of our management systems in accordance with ISO 14001, ISO 45001 and ISO 50001, covering environmental management, occupational health & safety and energy management.

You are visible within the organization and comfortable challenging existing ways of working when necessary. By engaging colleagues and management in HSE topics, you help us continuously strengthen our safety culture and operational performance.

We are looking for someone with:

Bachelor's degree (HBO) or equivalent working and thinking level

Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills
