HSE Specialist

Job Description

Are you passionate about advancing health, safety, and the environment - and ready to make a real difference in the global energy sector? At Semco Maritime, we are looking for a dedicated HSE Specialist to support our growing portfolio of projects across offshore wind and related energy solutions. This is your chance to contribute to the green transition while ensuring the highest safety standards in an international and dynamic environment.

In our HSE department, we support both short- and long-term operations for onshore and offshore projects worldwide. To strengthen our team, we are seeking an HSE professional who is motivated by improving safety performance, building strong safety cultures, and supporting project teams in delivering safe, compliant, and sustainable solutions.

At Semco Maritime safety is a core value, and in this role, you will contribute to maintaining and promoting a strong safety culture while delivering innovative solutions. Above all, your work will make a real change for the global energy sector.

Your place of work will be at our Global HQ located in Esbjerg, the hub of the Danish energy industry, right on the waterfront - views do not get any better than this. The position is full-time, and you can expect regular site visits (on- and offshore - primarily as sole representative from HSE department) and occasional travel to other Semco Maritime locations. Around 25-30 travel days per year should be expected.

"As HSE specialists at Semco Maritime, we make a difference by keeping our colleagues safe and protecting the environment every day"
