You probably know that failing to anticipate and address safety risks in pharmaceutical environments can lead to operational shutdowns, legal consequences, and irreversible harm—something a Prevention Advisor is expected to prevent at all costs.
We would therefore welcome you at AETHER to support Intrapreneurial Projects, as a senior Prevention Advisor:
The scope, here, is to ensure robust health, safety, and environmental management within a pharmaceutical laboratory environment, contributing directly to operational continuity and regulatory compliance.
The Key responsibilities expected from our consultant might include:
- Develop, implement, and update the global prevention plan and the yearly action plan in line with Belgian law.
- Implement local safety, health, and environmental requirements.
- Draft and maintain HSE documents: reports, procedures, and KPIs.
- Conduct risk analyses and workplace inspections in pharmaceutical labs, including ATEX zones.
- Evaluate risks linked to laboratory and chemical activities.
- Investigate incidents and accidents, write detailed reports, and propose corrective or preventive actions.
- Check that work complies with Belgian and EU safety laws, GMP, and ISO 45001.
- Stay up to date with changes in safety rules and pharmaceutical standards.
- Advise management and staff on HSE policies, best practices, and legal duties.
- Organize and deliver safety awareness sessions and trainings for all staff.
- Perform the legal role of Prevention Adviser.
- Serve as secretary for the Committee for Prevention and Protection at Work (CPPT).
- Coordinate HSE actions with internal teams and give punctual support when needed.
- Work closely with the Environmental Advisor to align on sustainability and compliance goals.
- Collaborate with external prevention services and regulators, and report to the group HSE direction.
The experience we are actively looking for:
- Certified Prevention Advisor Level 2 (Belgium).
- 3–7 years of experience in a similar role within pharmaceutical, chemical, or laboratory environments.
- Strong knowledge of Belgian welfare at work legislation and pharmaceutical industry safety practices.
- Analytical mindset, accuracy, and solid organizational skills.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills with ability to train and engage staff effectively.
- Proficiency in MS Office tools and HSE reporting systems.
- Fluent in Dutch and English; French is an asset.
- Valid work and residence permits for Belgium (mandatory for non-EU candidates).
- Immediate availability and presence in Belgium are preferred.
Your best career choice will be one that propels you toward becoming a future intrapreneur or entrepreneur in your field of expertise.
Check with AETHER if more impactful opportunities are relevant for you. For the sake of Business reactivity, priority is being given to candidates who are already living in Belgium and are available rapidly.
