Short Description
Function: General Counsel
Reports to: Health, Safety and Environment Manager
Set up: Hybrid
Location: Sibiu, Romania
Why we need this role
This is a critical delivery role within the Group HSE function, acting as the operational backbone for HSE projects, systems, and performance reporting across the business. While not a senior leadership or people‑management position, the role has significant influence and visibility through ownership of HSE tools, data, and insights used by leaders at all levels to manage risk, track performance, and meet regulatory and ISO requirements.
The role ensures that HSE information is accurate, consistent, timely, and decision‑ready, enabling the organisation to operate safely, compliantly, and efficiently. Reporting to the HSE South‑East Region Business Partner Lead, the role contributes to and operates as part of the Group HSE team. It is accountable for planning, executing, and sustaining global HSE projects, including technology, process, and data initiatives (for example: HSE system evaluations and implementations, reporting and analytics enhancements).
The role owns the end‑to‑end project lifecycle (from initiation through to benefit realisation), the HSE KPI framework and performance reporting, and the administration and continuous improvement of HSE systems. It works closely with HSE colleagues, IT, and business functions to deliver standardised, scalable solutions aligned with HSE strategy and ISO 45001 and ISO 14001 principles.
What you will do
HSE projects & delivery
- Lead global HSE projects (tools, systems, processes) through initiation, business case development, vendor selection, configuration, testing, change management, deployment, and post‑implementation stabilisation.
- Build and manage project plans, milestones, KPIs, and benefits trackers.
- Run project governance and reporting cadence in line with agreed workstreams.
- Manage vendors and contracts (SOWs, SLAs), ensuring delivery to scope, schedule, quality, and budget.

HSE systems ownership
- Administer and continuously improve existing HSE platforms (including incident reporting, action tracking, OHSMS compliance dashboards, training and competence, communication plans, lone working, and related tools).
- Own system configuration, user roles, access controls, and permissions.
- Define and maintain data standards, taxonomies, and master data.
- Drive backlog prioritisation, release management, and integration with related systems (e.g. HRIS, ERP, Facilities).
- Partner with IT and Engineering on HSE data pipelines, system architecture, and new tool implementations.
HSE performance, reporting & insight
- Define, maintain, and govern the HSE KPI framework and calculation rules (e.g. incident rates, audit and corrective action closure, training completion, risk assessment coverage).
- Ensure data quality, completeness, accuracy, and timeliness; run reconciliations and controls.
- Own the single source of truth for HSE performance data.
- Develop, automate, and maintain dashboards and executive‑level reports (monthly, quarterly, board).
- Translate data into clear insights, trends, hotspots, and forward‑looking scenarios to support decision‑making.
- Develop and maintain Power BI data models, standardised reports, and self‑service reporting content.
Data governance, assurance & compliance
- Ensure adherence to company policies, data privacy requirements (e.g. GDPR), and information security standards across all HSE systems and reporting.
- Maintain appropriate audit trails, confidentiality controls, and documentation for sensitive HSE data.
- Align HSE systems and reporting with ISO 45001, ISO 14001, and applicable local regulatory requirements.
- Support internal and external audits, inspections, and management reviews.
External reporting & stakeholder support
- Support external HSE reporting requirements, including Sustainability reporting and third‑party assessments (e.g. ECOVADIS).
- Act as a key interface between HSE, IT, and business stakeholders for HSE data, systems, and reporting.
- Provide clear, actionable HSE insights to a wide range of stakeholders across functions and regions.
