The role reports to the Sustainability Leader for Electrification Segment.
A core deliverable of this role is building the operational backbone that anticipates the Electrification Segment's 2030 sustainability and EHS targets globally, ensuring scalable governance across all countries, M&A integration capability, and a cultural shift that permeates every business line and geography within the segment.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead and embed Kaizen methodology across the Sustainability & EHS function globally, driving a culture of continuous improvement namely through Kaizens, structured problem-solving, and performance breakthroughs across all Electrification.
- Implement Lean processes and operational excellence frameworks across both Sustainability & EHS functions, eliminating waste, standardising workflows, and improving cycle times for key processes.
- Lead Electrification M&A due diligence and post-merger integration activities for Sustainability & EHS, ensuring seamless onboarding of acquired entities into the global governance framework and management systems regardless of country or business line.
- Co-design, deploy, and oversee the serious injury prevention programs and the I&I rate reduction multiyear plans based on highly reliable organization principles, set targets, track progress, and ensure sustained results aligned with the 2030 ambition.
- Own and govern H&S reporting, metrics, and dashboards, ensuring data quality, timeliness, and actionable insights for leadership decision-making and regulatory compliance.

- Fluent English required; additional European languages (Spanish, Italian, French, German) valued. Willingness to travel internationally (up to 30%).
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
