About the Role
Vantage Data Centers is a global leader in powering, cooling, protecting, and connecting the technology infrastructure of hyperscalers, cloud providers, and large enterprises. Operating across North America, EMEA, and Asia Pacific, Vantage delivers innovative data center design focused on reliability, efficiency, and sustainability.

The Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) team collaborates with Operations, Contractors, Vendors, Construction, and regulatory agencies to ensure a safe and healthful workplace. Health, safety, and environmental protection are core values at Vantage, driving a deeply ingrained safety culture through vigilance, planning, training, measurement, and cooperation aligned with operational and construction goals.

As the Environmental Health & Safety Manager at the London campus, you will support operational data centers and ongoing construction projects. You will work closely with the regional EMEA EHS team and local operational teams to develop and implement world-class EHS systems that meet both customer and company standards.

Your responsibilities include advancing safety culture, protecting employees, and partnering with operations, security, construction, logistics, compliance, legal, and HR teams. You will identify and mitigate risks in a fast-paced environment with evolving infrastructure, tools, and processes. This role is pivotal in maintaining Vantage’s leadership in operational excellence and EHS performance.

Key areas of focus include electrical safety, hazardous energy control, occupational noise, heat stress prevention, industrial hygiene, emergency response, working at heights, confined space entry, heavy material handling, powered industrial trucks, construction-related risks, fire/life safety, hazardous substances, waste management, ergonomics, spill prevention, risk assessment, and third-party safety supplier management.

You will implement and monitor health and safety standards, conduct audits and inspections, ensure compliance with national and international regulations, develop emergency and business continuity plans, maintain safety records, analyze data trends, and consult with compliance teams. Daily interaction with customers to provide health and safety guidance is also expected.

Reporting to the Director of EHS - EMEA, you will lead EHS program implementation across the campus, collaborate on policy standardization, manage performance metrics, conduct risk assessments, support incident investigations, deliver regulatory training, and communicate safety metrics to leadership. You will foster a harmonized approach across the European portfolio and develop EHS initiatives, campaigns, and contractor assessments.

This role requires a self-starter with strong communication and influencing skills, able to operate beyond compliance to find practical solutions that support business objectives while controlling risk.

Vantage embraces a culture of no ego and no arrogance, supporting each other’s strengths and appreciating differences. The company offers a comprehensive benefits package including health, welfare, retirement, paid leave, and ongoing training and development opportunities.
