HSE Officer – Industrial Project (South Spain)

Locations Available: Huelva, Spain

On-Site: 5 days per week (some flexibility once established)

We’re searching for a committed HSE Officer to support a major green industrial project in South Spain (coastal location).

This is a ~12-month assignment with an urgent start, ideal for someone who wants hands-on responsibility on site — not just sitting in front of spreadsheets pretending everything is fine.

The Role

As HSE Officer, you’ll support the site HSE function day-to-day, working closely with construction teams and contractors to ensure safe execution, legal compliance, and a practical safety culture on site.

You’ll be in the field often — spotting issues early, challenging unsafe behaviour, and helping the team do things the right way the first time.

Key Responsibilities

• Support implementation of the site HSE plan and procedures in line with Spanish & EU legislation

• Monitor works on site through regular inspections and walkdowns

• Assist with risk assessments, method statements and PTWs

• Deliver toolbox talks and safety briefings when required

• Record, report and follow up on incidents, near misses and unsafe acts

• Support audits, internal reviews and compliance checks

• Help build a proactive “stop and think” culture across teams and subcontractors

Profile

• Minimum 4 years’ experience in HSE on industrial or construction sites

• Solid understanding of Spanish HSE regulations and EU directives

• Experience in heavy industry, energy projects, manufacturing or large construction environments

• Comfortable working in fast-moving, multi-contractor sites

• Strong communication skills — able to challenge respectfully (and consistently)

• Professional level of Spanish and English

• EU right to work required

Location & Conditions

• South Spain – coastal region

• Approx. 12-month contract

• Standard working hours per Spanish legislation

• Local candidates preferred; rotation possible for EU-based profiles
