Your team and your responsibilities:
Team/Division description:
TME Safety & Health Division is responsible for the deployment of the Toyota Safety Management System across all operations in Europe and the further strengthening of the Corporate Safety Culture through all Business Units towards our zero-accident objective.
Within this construct and with full alignment to the Company’s Mission, the Corporate Team is focused on a range of collaborative activities with its Regional stakeholders which seek to deliver on our ambitions towards the concept of ‘Any Member Any Process’ and the attainment of Zero STOP6 incidents.

The role offers the rare opportunity for someone to take the lead and ownership in shaping and driving the future of ergonomics and working conditions within our operations so a passion for people, technology and our products is a distinct advantage.
