Are you ready to shape the future of renewable energy by making safety not just a priority – but a culture?
We offer an exciting opportunity for a passionate and structured professional to take a leading role in setting the benchmark for electrical safety across Vattenfall’s Wind portfolio. Join us in driving the transition to fossil free living by creating safer, more standardized and collaborative ways of working – with real impact across our entire Business Area Wind.
Help us reach fossil freedom – safely and smartly
In our People, Culture and Standards department within Vattenfall's Business Area Wind, we work every day to ensure the health and safety of our people, partners and operations. Electrical safety is a key pillar in enabling the energy transition at scale and speed – and we need a leader who can elevate our work across borders and disciplines.

From leading internal initiatives to representing Vattenfall in external collaborations, your work will help prevent harm to people and assets and contribute to our fossil free mission.
This role is as much about leadership and influence as it is about expertise – you’ll be required to communicate with confidence, structure complex safety challenges into clear action plans, and drive implementation across geographies and disciplines.
