Do you want to take a key role in a growing group of companies where you can influence how work within quality, occupational health and safety, security, and the environment develops? Hakarps Equipment in Vaggeryd is now looking for a QHSE Specialist who can drive improvements and create structure in the operations.

The work includes developing working methods and processes within QHSE, further developing management systems according to ISO standards, as well as following up on deviations and risks. You will support the organization in systematic occupational health and quality work and be involved in customer dialogues, procurement, and issues related to requirements setting within quality, environment, and security. The role is based at Hakarps Equipment in Vaggeryd but also involves regular visits to Wermland Water Solutions and Safe Cargo to create understanding, build relationships, and drive improvements forward.

What do we offer you?
Here you get the opportunity to step into a role where you can truly make a difference. You become part of a growing group of companies with short decision-making paths, a high level of ambition, and a clear desire to develop. You will have a central role in setting the direction and driving development within QHSE in the group and will be part of each company's management team. There are great opportunities to influence both working methods and priorities, while you are involved in driving the work forward. You become part of an organization that values collaboration, engagement, and presence in operations. For those who thrive in a role with variety, responsibility, and the opportunity to influence, there is an exciting journey to be part of. In addition, we offer a company car, wellness allowance, private health insurance, as well as opportunities for competence development and training.

Who are we looking for?
