Ericsson is one of the world's leading telecommunications technology and services companies. In the Market Area SouthEast Asia, Oceania and India (called as MOAI internally), our teams design, deploy and support the network infrastructure, software and managed services that power digital connectivity across the region. Our workforce operates across field environments, customer sites, laboratories, remote locations and home-based settings across multiple jurisdictions, and we are looking for an experienced EHS leader to take full ownership of the function responsible for their health, safety and wellbeing.
The Scope
The risk landscape this role governs is physical, psychosocial and environmental. Field operations carry acute physical injury risk including working at height, confined space entry, live electrical work and RF-EME exposure, in work environments Ericsson doesn't always control. The office and remote workforce carries psychosocial and ergonomic risk profiles that are equally demanding, if less visible. Environmental compliance obligations span all jurisdictions, covering hazardous materials, waste management and ESG reporting commitments that are growing in regulatory and commercial significance. Multiple jurisdictions; Distinct regulatory landscapes; One function that must hold all of it with authority.
Ericsson brings strong global frameworks, genuine leadership commitment to EHS, and the resources of a well-established multinational, including a management system built to ISO 45001 principles. What this role adds is the leader who can close the gap between system and practice: embedding psychosocial risk governance with the same rigour applied to physical safety, strengthening contractor maturity across a complex supply chain, and positioning EHS as a genuine input to commercial decisions rather than a review that happens after the fact.
The position reports to the Head of Network Operations (NEO) - MOAI and operates as the senior EHS authority for the business. Shaping decisions before commitments are made, not after, is central to how this role is expected to operate. The positions works closely with the Global Head and Vice President Health Safety and wellbeing to ensure alignment with the global strategy and tactical agenda.
