As our new SHEQ Officer E-Waste, you’ll play a vital role in shaping the future of safe, smart, and sustainable recycling operations, particularly in the fast-evolving world of electronic waste.

• Support and help shape a culture of continuous improvement, knowledge-sharing, and proactive SHEQ engagement.

Your Team:

You will be part of the E-Waste SHEQ team (5 persons in total) and you will report to the Manager SHEQ E-Waste.

A strong network of professionals who share knowledge, collaborate across business units, and continuously strive to improve safety, quality, and sustainability.

What do you Bring?

• You’re comfortable working across different levels—from the shop floor to the management team.
• You’re fluent in English and you can manage yourself in Dutch (all permits are in Dutch) and French is a plus.
• You’re flexible to travel a few times per month to other Renewi locations (Dordrecht, Liege and Lesquin).

What makes this job the best job in the world?

• Work in a company with real impact.
• Step into a role with clear career progression.
• Be part of a supportive, down-to-earth team that values humour, collaboration and continuous learning.

What we offer you?
