Technical Safety Officer Maritime Operations
Would you like to turn your technical experience into a role where safety visibly makes a difference every day?
At NAVAL GROUP, you work in an international maritime environment where maintenance, repairs and technical activities take place both at the yard and on board vessels. As a Technical Safety Officer, you spend around 70% of your time on site, close to the people, the technology and the daily operations.
You understand what is happening technically, recognise risks and know why a situation can be dangerous. Based on that knowledge, you help employees and subcontractors work safely, address unsafe behaviour where needed and actively contribute to a strong safety culture.
JOB DESCRIPTION
- Be present on the yard and on board vessels on a daily basis to monitor activities, risks and safety measures.
- Carry out safety rounds, inspections and audits to identify unsafe situations and technical risks, and quickly implement the necessary corrective actions.
- Address and raise awareness among employees and subcontractors, and ensure safety rules are applied correctly.
- Prepare, update and follow up risk assessments, safety procedures and action points.
- Monitor safety during maintenance and repair activities, including the safe isolation of work areas and technical installations.
- Provide practical safety advice and discuss improvement points with Superintendents, technical staff, naval personnel, subcontractors and other stakeholders.
- Ensure proper administrative follow-up and reporting on safety and prevention.
YOUR PROFILE
- Strong technical background in shipping, marine engineering, industry, maintenance or complex technical worksites.
- Experience as, for example, a Superintendent, maritime Project Manager, Engineer, Technical Specialist or in an operational role on board is a strong foundation.
- Good technical understanding of areas such as mechanics, electricity, hydraulics, maintenance activities, working at height, heavy loads and technical spaces.
- Strong interest in safety and prevention; previous experience in a formal safety role is not required.
- Strong communication skills, a practical mindset and the ability to engage people clearly and convincingly in safe working practices.
- Natural authority, assertiveness and, above all, a genuine passion for making safety visible and intervening when necessary.
- Flexible, approachable and willing to spend most of your time on the work floor.
- Good command of English; knowledge of Dutch and French is an advantage.
OUR OFFER
- A permanent and varied position within an international and technically strong maritime organisation.
- A competitive salary package with extra-legal benefits.
- A high level of responsibility and direct impact on the safety of employees and operations.
- Training opportunities and occasional travel to France and the Netherlands.
- The opportunity to further develop your technical experience towards safety and prevention.
