Recognition
Electrical Safety Officer
Are you ready to shape the future of renewable energy by making safety not just a priority – but a culture?
We offer an exciting opportunity for a passionate and structured professional to take a leading role in setting the benchmark for electrical safety across Vattenfall’s Wind portfolio. Join us in driving the transition to fossil free living by creating safer, more standardized and collaborative ways of working – with real impact across our entire Business Area Wind.
Help us reach fossil freedom – safely and smartly
In our People, Culture and Standards department within Vattenfall's Business Area Wind, we work every day to ensure the health and safety of our people, partners and operations. Electrical safety is a key pillar in enabling the energy transition at scale and speed – and we need a leader who can elevate our work across borders and disciplines.
That’s why we are now looking to hire an Electrical Safety Officer.
Your role:
As our Electrical Safety Officer, you will play a central role in shaping and driving the electrical safety strategy across BA Wind. You will lead the Electrical Safety Committee and represent Wind in the Vattenfall Group-wide Electrical Safety Board, ensuring alignment with regulatory expectations and industry best practice.
This is a unique opportunity to make a measurable impact on our organization. You’ll act as a key advisor, project manager, and facilitator – bringing technical excellence and stakeholder alignment together. From leading internal initiatives to representing Vattenfall in external collaborations, your work will help prevent harm to people and assets and contribute to our fossil free mission.
This role is as much about leadership and influence as it is about expertise – you’ll be required to communicate with confidence, structure complex safety challenges into clear action plans, and drive implementation across geographies and disciplines.
Your tasks and responsibilities:
- Set and steer the strategic direction for electrical safety in BA Wind
- Manage the electrical safety process and its supporting documentation
- Lead the Electrical Safety Committee and represent Wind in the Electrical Safety Board
- Act as the focal point for regulatory compliance and industry engagement
- Represent Vattenfall Wind in internal and external regulatory, safety, and technical forums
- Conduct risk assessments and compliance checks, driving continuous improvement initiatives
- Communicate risks and safety insights clearly to Wind management teams
- Support investigations and develop risk mitigation strategies
- Define training and competence requirements, and support their implementation
- Lead cross-functional collaboration across projects and business units
Location
The position is flexible in any of our key wind locations: London, Hexham, Hamburg, Berlin, Kolding, Amsterdam or Solna..

Your profile

As our Electrical Safety Officer, you will bring:
- A Master’s degree in Engineering or equivalent
- Solid experience in Electrical Safety and a strong understanding of its regulatory landscape
- Effective stakeholder management and project management skills
- Strong communication, collaboration, and influencing capabilities – both written and verbal
- A proactive mindset with the ability to challenge, lead, and guide others
- Experience leading or participating in external industry and regulatory initiatives is a plus
- Familiarity with large-scale renewable energy projects or electrical infrastructure environments (e.g., wind energy, oil & gas, utilities)
