Responsibilities may include the following and other duties may be assigned:

• Provide leadership and direction in the development, implementation, and continuous improvement of key EHS risk programs, including driver safety, ionizing radiation, biohazards, emergency preparedness, employee preventive medical examinations, and ergonomics. Ensure these programs comply with regulatory requirements, align with Medtronic EHS Standards, and support EMEA and Corporate strategies and initiatives
• Implement a targeted health, safety, and environmental risk management program to identify, assess, and control illness and injury risks, minimize environmental impacts, and meet local regulatory requirements
• Serve as the Prevention Advisor for the Belgium Commercial organization
• Partner with Medtronic sub-regions, business units, and functions at all organizational levels to provide EHS technical expertise and foster a positive EHS culture, including support for regions outside Benelux
• Collaborate with relevant external agencies—such as Fire Services, Health and Safety Authorities, and Environmental Agencies—and internal stakeholders to integrate EHS into business processes and decisions
• Facilitate EHS engagement and communication through regular EHS and health committee meetings, active involvement programs, management reporting at both corporate and local levels, newsletters, and other communication channels
• Execute compliance-based tasks, including conducting effective incident investigations and root cause analyses, participating in EHS audits, and implementing remedial actions within agreed SLAs

• Possess a relevant qualification, such as a NEBOSH Certificate, EHS accreditation, a degree in Engineering or Science, or an equivalent EHS certification
• Solid working knowledge of EHS and Risk Management legislation and principles, with experience in local and/or regional EHS regulatory compliance and practical application of EHS programs, including emergency preparedness, ergonomics, and employee health checks.
