About Nscale

At Nscale, we are building the infrastructure for the AI revolution. Nscale is developing cutting-edge, sovereign generative AI solutions powered by a new generation of high-performance, sustainable data centers and GPUs built specifically for AI workloads.

The rapid growth of artificial intelligence is driving unprecedented global demand for compute and GPU infrastructure. Positioned at the heart of this transformation, Nscale is delivering the platforms that will enable the next decade of innovation.

Working closely with the world's most advanced AI technology providers, including Microsoft and NVIDIA, Nscale integrates next-generation compute hardware and GPU clusters across both partner and self-delivered facilities. This is a unique opportunity to join Nscale's journey, play a pivotal role in delivering transformative AI infrastructure, and help shape a company designed to scale rapidly across North America, Europe, and beyond.

We are hiring a VP, EH&S (Global) to lead Nscale's Health & Safety organization and own environment, health, and safety across the global data center portfolio. Nscale is building at extraordinary speed: greenfield campuses in the Nordics, the UK, and the United States, retrofits and colocation deployments, and a multi-gigawatt development pipeline. On any given day, thousands of people are working on Nscale sites, most of them employed by someone else.

Keeping all of them safe is the mandate of this role.

This is a build role. Nscale needs a global EH&S function that can scale faster than the construction program in front of it: one set of standards, one management system, one reporting line for incidents, and a team positioned at sites before mobilization rather than after. You will define what is set globally and what is executed regionally, and you will build the organization that carries it.

The role spans the full delivery lifecycle. You will engage during site selection and design so hazards are engineered out before they reach the field, own owner-side safety across active construction and the contractor chain, carry EH&S accountability through commissioning and energization, and set the standards that govern live data halls once assets are operational. You will bring the discipline of critical environment operations to safety, treating availability and safety as one problem rather than two.

You will report to the SVP, Global Data Center Programs and work across Construction, Commissioning, Operations, Development, Energy, Legal, People, and Sustainability, alongside general contractors, regulators, and hyperscale customers whose own safety standards are a commercial condition of the work.

This is a strategic and hands‑on leadership role. You will set global policy and present performance to executive leadership, and you will also be on site, in the field, and in the incident review. Candidates who want one without the other will not enjoy this job.

The role is based in the United States, with regular international travel to sites across the US, UK, and the Nordics (40–50%).

• Own Nscale's global EH&S strategy, policy, standards, and performance targets across site development, construction, commissioning, and live data center operations.
• Establish and maintain a single global EH&S management system aligned to ISO 45001 and ISO 14001, with defined regional implementation paths rather than site-by-site variation.
• Define the global metrics framework: SIF potential exposure, critical control verification, TRIR and DART, environmental compliance events, and contractor performance.
• Select and implement the enterprise EH&S platform supporting incident reporting, inspections, permit-to-work,…
