About the Role
As the Industrial Sustainability, Environment & Energy (ISEE) and Health & Safety Manager at Ferrero, you will be responsible for ensuring full compliance with legal, environmental, energy, and health & safety standards at site level. You will support the implementation of Group and Regional guidelines, oversee performance, engage teams, and contribute to a culture of safety, sustainability, and continuous improvement. This dual-focus role involves supporting the plant's regulatory compliance, reducing the risk of business disruption, and driving strategic sustainability planning.

You will act as the plant's subject matter expert for Health & Safety and Environmental compliance, managing both external regulatory relationships and internal communications across teams. Your responsibilities will include incident response, energy governance, staff training, and reporting to ensure Ferrero's people and operations are protected, compliant, and forward-looking.

Main responsibilities include leading health and safety efforts across the site by identifying and mitigating risks, establishing site-specific safety plans, and ensuring full compliance with regulatory and Group H&S requirements. You will support incident investigations, define root causes, track corrective actions, lead risk assessments, emergency response plans, and coach managers to embed a safety-first culture.

You will manage all local health and safety documentation and reporting, including metrics, compliance updates, audits, and inspections. Ensuring preventive maintenance for safety equipment, delivering training to relevant personnel, and aligning site activities with Ferrero's strategic H&S goals will be key.

On the sustainability and environment side, you will oversee compliance across energy use, water, waste, emissions, and refrigerants. You will lead the site's Masterplan for sustainability, ensure reliable data collection and monitoring, and provide reports to central teams in line with DOSEE requirements. Timely reporting and escalation of any incidents, emergencies, or risks to operations or the environment will be essential.

You will contribute to continuous improvement and professional knowledge-sharing by participating in Ferrero's professional family working groups. Supporting internal training programs across all site levels to strengthen sustainability and safety practices will be part of your role. Additionally, you will collaborate with procurement and project teams to embed health, safety, and environmental considerations in new equipment design, construction, and contractor selection.
