Global HSE Director owns the global health, safety, and environmental system for Aerones field operations. Ensures all technicians, crews, and operational staff work safely across all service lines and regions. This role establishes standards, drives compliance, investigates incidents, and builds a prevention-oriented safety culture.
The Global HSE Director is visible in the field - not a headquarters-only function. As the owner of Aerones’ HSE system, this role sets the standards that protect every technician working at height and ensures those standards become embedded practice on every wind turbine, every day. The Director works shoulder-to-shoulder with Field Service Managers, Crew Managers, and technicians to make safety a lived operational habit rather than a paperwork exercise.
This role operates at the intersection of strategy and execution - building a world-class HSE framework, driving compliance across regions, leading incident investigations, and turning data into prevention. Safety performance is your scorecard.
Requirements
- Field credibility - willing and able to be on-site, engaging directly with crews, not just auditing from afar
- Systems thinking - sees safety as part of operational excellence, not a separate silo
- Data-driven - comfortable with metrics, trend analysis, and using data to prioritize interventions
- Clear communication - translates technical safety requirements into actionable, practical guidance
- Influence without authority - effective with field teams, Field Service Managers, and cross-functional partners
- Ability to establish standards, drive compliance, and lead incident investigations across multiple regions and service lines
- Proven experience building a prevention-oriented safety culture in operational, high-risk, or industrial environments
Preferred qualifications:
- Prevention orientation - understands that upstream investment prevents downstream incidents
- Ownership mentality - safety performance is your scorecard, not someone else’s problem
- Operational integration - safety enables operations, doesn’t slow them down
- Travel readiness - willing to travel internationally (30-40%) to support global operations
- Cross-cultural competence - ability to collaborate effectively with diverse teams across the EU and US
- Resilience and determination - willing to engage in constructive confrontation when safety standards are not upheld
