HSE Lead
The opportunity
As a HSE Lead at Linesight, you’ll be part of a high-performing, culturally diverse team delivering one of Europe’s most ambitious data centre builds. You’ll work on a large-scale, high-voltage construction project where safety is paramount, and your expertise will directly shape the success and integrity of the build. We foster a collaborative and empowering environment where you’ll be supported to take real ownership of your role, grow your career, and make a lasting impact. At Linesight, trusted relationships are everything — with our clients, our teams, and our partners.
In this role you will:
- Lead the identification and management of high-risk activities across all project phases, collaborating with key stakeholders to ensure proactive safety planning and coordination.
- Champion the implementation and continuous improvement of risk control measures, ensuring they are effective, monitored, and embedded in daily operations.
- Develop and maintain robust reporting and communication structures to provide clear visibility of HSE performance across the project.
- Evaluate the effectiveness of site-level HSE planning through active engagement with contractors, workers, and supervisors.
- Be a visible and proactive safety leader onsite — conducting audits, mentoring teams, and driving a culture of safety excellence.
- Design and implement the project’s safety strategy and procedures, ensuring alignment and buy-in from all project partners.
- Conduct independent audits across all construction activities, identifying gaps and driving corrective actions.
- Ensure contractors establish and maintain outstanding safety practices and procedures, aligned with project and regulatory standards.
- Maintain and enhance health and safety management systems (ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001).
- Lead investigations into incidents, near misses, and accidents, ensuring thorough evaluation and implementation of preventive measures.
We would love to hear from you if you:
- Proven experience in a senior HSE role on large-scale construction projects, ideally within data centre, pharmaceutical, oil & gas, or high-voltage infrastructure sectors.
- Strong track record in contractor management and stakeholder engagement, including design teams and project professionals.
- Deep understanding of European HSE regulations and standards, with the ability to apply them in complex, fast-paced environments.
- Excellent communication skills — both verbal and written — with the ability to influence and lead across diverse teams.
- Proficiency in Microsoft Office and digital reporting tools.
- A collaborative mindset and a passion for building strong relationships through openness, purpose, and shared achievement.
- Legal right to work in the Netherlands and willingness to be based in or relocate to Groningen.
