Corporate EHS Manager

Overview

Safety is our value:
At Xella, we shape an appreciative safety culture, maintain open and cross-hierarchical communication, and jointly drive the continuous improvement of our processes and installations with a solution-oriented approach.

We passionately care about the safety and health of everyone who works for or with us, because we know that every injury has an impact on their lives. Safe work. Safe life.

• As Corporate EHS Manager, you will work hand in hand with our international executives and an international team of motivated EHS Managers and can rely on their support.
• As part of our Corporate EHS Engine, you will support sites and regions in Germany and other European countries in shaping their safety culture, introducing central standards, and acting as the first point of contact for our local managing directors and EHS managers. In this context, you will take over the professional leadership and development of the local EHS managers in your region and report directly to the Head of Corporate EHS.
• In addition, you will work in international teams on the conceptual design of group-wide safety initiatives and programs (such as our Life Saving Rules), introduce these in individual training programs and workshops with specialists and leaders and support their implementation. You will develop the competencies and soft skills of the responsible individuals in training and coaching sessions in order to continuously improve and strengthen our safety culture.
• We will accompany you on this journey and develop your competencies and soft skills with individual and tailored training courses.

• Self-directed development:
  We support and promote your skills with tailored development plans, continuous training and digital learning opportunities.
• Flexible working:
  The opportunity to work remotely up to 3 days a week and flexible working hours between 6am and 10pm.
• Mobility:
  Company car also for private use and the option to lease a bicycle or e-bike at attractive rates.
• Well covered:
  We support you with a company pension scheme, group accident insurance and through the PME family service.
• Work out:
  Push yourself, not only at work, but also in our gym.

• Being an EHS Manager is not just a job for you, but a passion with which you infect others?
• Then we look forward to hearing from you if you would like to bring all your experience to a changing company as a Senior EHS Manager or take the next step into a challenging position as a junior EHS Manager.
• You should have a degree in safety engineering or a comparable university degree with training as an occupational safety specialist. For us, good communication and moderation skills at all levels of the company, as well as a conceptual and structured way of working are just as much a part of your profile as a good command of English (written and spoken) and a moderate willingness to travel.
• It would be an advantage if you have sound experience in occupational and plant safety from the manufacturing industry.
