The role

You will be responsible for fostering a robust safety culture, ensuring strict compliance with French labor laws, and driving continuous improvement in workplace conditions. This role requires a proactive professional who can navigate complex regulatory landscapes while remaining deeply connected to the daily operations of a fast-paced logistics environment.

What you’ll do

• Translate corporate HSE policies into actionable operational plans tailored for distribution centers and delivery hubs.
• Lead comprehensive risk assessments (DUERP), conduct internal audits, and perform deep dive incident investigations to prevent recurrence.
• Ensure all sites adhere to the French work (Code du Travail) and environmental regulations. Maintain a high level of visibility on the shopfloor, conduct workplace inspections and coach operational leads on hazard identification.
• Utilize process management methodologies to optimize safety workflows and elevate the organization’s safety maturity level.
• Guide teams through organizational shifts, ensuring HSE standards remain a top priority during periods of growth or transition.

• In depth knowledge of French HSE legislation (Code du Travail), including specific requirements for logistics (e.g. CACES certifications, fire safety standards like ERP/ERT and ICPE regulations).
• 3–5 years of relevant HSE experience, ideally within a distribution center, warehouse or high-volume logistics environment.
• Knowledge in ISO standards (ISO 45001, 14001) is an advantage.  
• A proven affinity for road safety and fleet management is essential, given the nature of our last-mile delivery operations.
• Driver’s license 
• French and English speaker
• Travel availability 
• Ability to advise and influence stakeholders at both management and operational levels.
• A creative problem-solver who can balance strict legal obligations with the practical realities of a busy distribution center.
• Skilled in scenario-based thinking, identifying "the big picture" to connect data into a safety strategy.
• A team player who thrives on building cross-functional relationships to achieve shared safety goals.
