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 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. You will lead 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. Supporting incident investigations, defining root causes, and tracking corrective actions will be key aspects of your role.

Additionally, you will lead risk assessments, emergency response plans, and coaching for managers to embed a safety-first culture. Managing all local health and safety documentation and reporting, from metrics and compliance updates to audits and inspections, will be essential. You will ensure preventive maintenance for safety equipment is carried out, training is delivered to all relevant personnel, and site activities align with Ferrero's strategic H&S goals. Acting as the main liaison during external authority inspections, you will ensure proper documentation for licenses and regulatory requirements.

On the sustainability and environment side, you will oversee compliance across key areas including 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 your responsibility.

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