(Medior) Machinery Safety Project Manager
For sure, you know the cost of poorly managed safety upgrades in industrial environments: delays, risks to workers, and mounting costs that compromise both reputation and performance. You’ve probably seen it more than once—when safety design is rushed or underestimated, entire operations can stall. That's exactly why this mission needs someone like you.
Success of Engineering Projects mostly relies on key individuals demonstrating Intrapreneurial Leadership, and the best way to develop these skills is through hands-on consulting roles—working alongside established intrapreneurs in international companies, contributing to managing stakeholders' engagement, workflows' reliability, or solutions' sustainability.
Join AETHER to support Intrapreneurial Projects as a Safety Project Manager:
The scope of this intrapreneurial project is to lead machinery safety upgrades across several industrial production sites in Belgium. The key responsibilities expected from our consultant might include:

* Ensure hands-on presence during commissioning and final validation phases.
The experience we are actively looking for:
* Safety-first mindset when designing, organizing, or supervising industrial works from concept to commissioning.
* Strong engineering background—mechanics, automation, electrical; functional safety knowledge is a plus.
* Ideally with a certification such as CMSE (Certified Machinery Safety Expert) or equivalent.
* Knowledgeable in Functional Safety, with experience in safety-related projects involving machinery upgrades/revamping is a plus.
