With more than 680 projects delivered, over 15 GW of installed renewable energy capacity and 6 GWh of battery energy storage capacity across 24+ countries, SUNOTEC combines engineering expertise, international experience and strong local execution to build the energy infrastructure of the future.

 

SUNOTEC Nordic was established in Sønderborg, Denmark, to strengthen the company's local presence and support the development and delivery of large-scale solar PV, battery energy storage and hybrid renewable energy projects across Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland.

 

As our Nordic operations continue to grow, we are looking for an experienced Health and Safety Manager to join our team in Denmark and support our activities across the region.

 

Why this role matters

 

At SUNOTEC, protecting people and maintaining high health and safety standards are essential to the successful delivery of our renewable energy projects. As our Nordic operations expand, ensuring regulatory compliance, effective risk management and consistent HSE practices across different markets becomes increasingly important.

 

As Health and Safety Manager, you will support the implementation and continuous improvement of HSE arrangements within SUNOTEC Nordic, providing professional guidance and coordination for our activities in Denmark while contributing to HSE documentation, processes and management systems across the wider Nordic region.

 

Working closely with local and regional management, project teams, contractors and the Group HSE function, you will help translate regulatory requirements and company standards into practical arrangements that support safe and responsible project delivery.

 

Where you'll make an impact:

  • Health and safety advisory: Provide practical HSE guidance to line management, project teams and relevant stakeholders, supporting the consistent application of health and safety requirements in daily operations.
  • Authorities and stakeholder management: Act as a professional HSE contact for relevant Danish authorities, clients, external advisers and other stakeholders, coordinating with local and regional management where required.
  • Occupational health coordination: Coordinate relationships with occupational health providers and other specialist services, ensuring that relevant occupational health arrangements are appropriately managed.
  • Incident management: Coordinate the reporting, recording and investigation of incidents, near misses and other HSE-related events. Support legally required notifications and communication with management, Legal, clients, insurers, authorities and other relevant parties.
  • Nordic HSE documentation: Prepare, review and maintain HSE plans, procedures, risk assessments, registers, reports and tender documentation for projects and operations across Denmark and the wider Nordic region.
  • Project mobilisation and planning: Develop and review project-specific HSE management plans, emergency arrangements, mobilisation documentation and other required HSE deliverables in collaboration with project and line management.
  • Audits and inspections: Plan, coordinate and participate in HSE audits, workplace inspections and management reviews across Nordic projects and operations. Document findings, coordinate corrective actions and monitor their timely completion.
  • Management systems and process improvement: Support the implementation and continuous improvement of HSE processes, templates and controlled documentation within SUNOTEC Nordic and the wider integrated management system.
  • Training and engagement: Support the preparation and delivery of HSE training materials, inductions, toolbox talks and awareness initiatives, contributing to a proactive safety culture and workforce engagement.
  • Performance reporting: Prepare HSE reports, performance updates, trend analyses and lessons learned, ensuring accurate documentation and supporting informed management decisions.
  • Regional coordination: Work closely with the Group HSE function and relevant teams across Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland to promote consistent HSE practices and support the exchange of knowledge and experience.

 

What will help you succeed:

  • A relevant degree or recognised qualification in Occupational Health and Safety, Engineering, Construction Management or a related field.
  • At least 3–5 years of relevant HSE experience in construction, renewable energy, infrastructure, manufacturing or a comparable industry.
  • Practical knowledge of Danish occupational health and safety legislation and experience applying regulatory requirements in project or operational environments.
  • Experience supporting HSE management systems, internal audits, controlled documentation and continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Strong understanding of risk management, workplace safety, incident reporting, contractor management and emergency arrangements.

  • Danish language skills are a strong advantage; knowledge of another Nordic language is beneficial.
  • A proactive, structured and solutions-oriented approach, with excellent attention to detail and a strong commitment to protecting people's health and safety.
  • Willingness to travel to project locations across Denmark and other Nordic countries when required.
