Regional Environmental, Health & Safety Manager

EAST COAST TIMEZONE ONLY 

Nebius is building the infrastructure that powers the next generation of AI — and we're scaling fast. In line with our values, we're committed to an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive, and we're looking for an experienced Environmental, Health & Safety Manager to set the direction, standards and capability that keep our expanding operations safe, compliant and sustainable. 

This is no ordinary role. We need a decisive, credible leader who owns the regional EHS agenda — someone who can set strategy, build a high-performing team, and act as the trusted voice of EHS at leadership level, while staying close enough to the detail to guide, challenge and support when it matters most. 

This is a genuine opportunity to shape how EHS operates as Nebius scales. You'll have real autonomy to set priorities, build capability across your team and sites, and influence decisions at a regional and business level — backed by strong support from senior stakeholders and a growing global EHS function. 

You'll be accountable for the performance, maturity and culture of EHS across your region — leading through others, setting the standards your team and sites work to, and stepping in personally when situations demand calm, experienced judgement under pressure. Above all, you'll help make sound EHS practice a source of competitive advantage for Nebius, not a compliance exercise. 

What you'll do 

• Set and own the regional EHS plan, turning policy and legislation into clear priorities and controls for your sites.
• Translate the global EHS strategy into everyday practice across your region, making sure teams are well supported and equipped with the toolkit to advance site EHS performance.
• Lead, manage and develop local teams — setting objectives, building capability, and owning outcomes.
• Act as the senior EHS voice with regional and site leadership — advising on risk and holding the business to account.
• Own regional governance and assurance — audits, inspections, and the quality of your team's risk assessments and controls.
• Take personal command of major incidents and crises — leading investigations, building a learning culture, and reporting to executive level with composure under pressure.
• Set the standard for construction, commissioning, operations and other high-risk activity, equipping specialists to manage risk on the ground.
• Own the regional EHS performance narrative — turning data into insight that drives decisions and accountable action plans.
• Review EHS data and performance metrics regularly, acting on trends and insights to drive continuous improvement across the region.
• Support the wider environmental and sustainability agenda, partnering with teams to embed it across your region.
• Represent Nebius with regulators, industry bodies and partners, protecting its credibility on EHS.
• Champion Nebius's culture and values, embedding EHS as core to how the business operates. 

What we're looking for 

Credible, decisive, and people-focused. You'll bring: 

• NEBOSH Diploma (or equivalent), Environmental Science, Industrial Hygiene, or related field, plus 6+ years' Environmental, Health & Safety experience, including experience leading or managing a team.
• Deep working knowledge of country and regional legislation, with a track record of shaping policy and standards, not just applying them.
• A genuine subject-matter expert — able to go deep on technical detail when needed, while spending most of your time enabling others to deliver.
• Proven experience supporting incident response and investigations, including in high-pressure, high-consequence situations, with the composure to make sound decisions under stress.
• A track record of influencing senior stakeholders and holding them to account.
• Experience coaching and developing teams and capability.
• Strong commercial and organisational judgement — able to balance risk, cost and pace.
• Excellent communication skills, with the gravitas to advise, challenge constructively, and represent EHS externally.
• A continuous-improvement mindset and the ambition to build a function, not just run a programme. 

Preferred 

• 8+ years' experience, including international or multi-site regulatory environments.
• Experience within data centres, critical infrastructure, construction, engineering, commissioning or other high-risk environments.
• Chartered status or equivalent: CMIOSH, GradIOSH working towards Chartered, NCRQ Level 6, or equivalent senior EHS qualification.
• Experience managing regional budgets and cross-site resourcing. 

Why Nebius? 

• Lead with impact — set the direction for EHS as Nebius scales.
• Build something lasting — grow a team and a function, not just deliver a programme.
• Operate at leadership level — advise, influence and be accountable alongside the business.
• Be backed — join a growing global EHS function with real investment behind it.
• Grow with us — build a lasting career as Nebius continues to scale. 

Our approach 

Environmental, health and safety isn't something we do separately — it's how we do the job. Strong outcomes come from partnership, trust, collaboration and shared accountability. As Manager, your role is to set the standard, build the capability, and create an environment where leaders and teams are equipped to make good decisions, manage risk effectively, and speak up, learn and improve. 

If you want to lead a function where your judgement is trusted and you can genuinely shape how we work, we'd love to hear from you.
