We’re looking for a hands-on, collaborative HSE Director to lead and drive our Health, Safety, and Environmental agenda across our data centre operations and development projects.

As our HSE Director, you’ll play a key role in building a strong HSE culture, leading a team of direct and indirect employees, and ensuring safe, compliant, and practical ways of working across all sites. This is a leadership role with a strong operational focus—you’ll be part of the action, actively participating in HSE improvements, checks, and driving the pace we need.

About the role:

• Leading and mentoring a team of HSE professionals across our sites and development projects, working closely with General Contractors

• Fostering engagement and involvement of both employees and contractors to create a solid, proactive HSE culture

• Developing and deploying an HSE roadmap based on current maturity, identifying areas for improvement, and driving progress through collaboration, training, and continuous learning

• Following up, revising, and evolving the roadmap together with your team, management, and stakeholders

• Partnering with Ops Directors and site leaders to build HSE capabilities, awareness, and a practical skillset

• Training, coaching, and empowering the HSE team—and supporting them in rolling out training across the wider organization

• Promoting cross-functional collaboration, ensuring consistent implementation of best practices across all sites

• Actively participating in site activities, checks, and hands-on improvements—this is not a desk-only role!

About you: 

• Strong and broad HSE experience, ideally from data centres or similar environments, with knowledge of electrical hazards and lock-tag-verify

• A collaborative and proactive approach, with a solid understanding of “Human Performance” principles

• The ability to strike the right balance between strict compliance and practical, efficient, safe procedures that work in reality

• Proven experience in improving and aligning compliance programs to international standards such as ISO 14001 and ISO 45001

• Leadership skills with a willingness to be hands-on and part of the daily action

• Fluency in English; Icelandic, Danish, or Finnish is a plus

Where you’ll be:

This role is preferably based in Finland, but could also be in Iceland (Reykjavik), Denmark (Copenhagen), or Sweden (Stockholm). Regular travel (2-4 times per month) is expected.
