Nscale – HSE Manager (Hyperscale Data Centre – Stargate Norway)
Location: Narvik Region, Norway (Site-Based) Reports to: Project Director / Site & Infrastructure Director, Stargate Norway
About Nscale
At Nscale, we are building the infrastructure for Europe’s AI revolution. Nscale is developing sovereign, next-generation generative AI solutions powered by high-performance, sustainable data centres and GPU infrastructure engineered specifically for AI workloads.
The rapid acceleration of artificial intelligence is driving unprecedented global demand for compute and power infrastructure. Positioned at the centre of this transformation, Nscale is delivering the platforms that will enable the next decade of innovation.
Working closely with leading AI technology providers, Nscale integrates next-generation compute hardware and GPU clusters across both partner and self-delivered facilities. This is a unique opportunity to join Nscale’s journey, play a pivotal role in delivering transformative AI infrastructure, and help shape a company designed for rapid scale across Europe and beyond.
The Role
Nscale is seeking an experienced and proactive HSE Manager to lead health, safety and environmental oversight for the Stargate Norway hyperscale data centre project near Narvik .
This role sits within the Aker Nscale joint venture and has been created to strengthen on-site HSE leadership, ensuring continuous visibility, accountability, and proactive risk management across all construction activities.
While several HSE functions are currently delivered by external providers, the JV requires a dedicated client-side leader with end-to-end oversight—someone who can anticipate risks, drive mitigation measures, engage contractors, and ensure alignment between JV objectives, regulatory requirements, and delivery partner practices.
Reporting to the Project Directors, the HSE Manager will be the primary safety interface across contractors, internal teams, and JV partners, ensuring the project is executed safely, responsibly, and in full compliance with Norwegian and international standards.
Key Responsibilities
1. Site HSE Leadership
Provide full-time HSE leadership on the Stargate Norway site, acting as the primary client-side safety representative.
Establish a strong on-site safety culture focused on prevention, continuous improvement, and accountability.
Maintain daily visibility across work fronts, proactively identifying risks, unsafe conditions, behavioural issues, and emerging operational hazards.
2. Governance, Compliance & Assurance
Ensure full compliance with Norwegian HSE regulations, Nscale and Aker HSE standards, and wider European requirements.
Lead audits, inspections, and compliance checks, ensuring contractors operate in line with JV expectations.
Review and approve risk assessments, method statements, permits, and safety documentation submitted by contractors.
3. Risk Management & Incident Follow-Up
Drive proactive risk identification and mitigation across all phases of construction.
Lead incident investigations, root cause analysis, and the implementation of corrective actions.
Maintain and report on HSE performance KPIs, trends, and risk areas to the Project Director and JV leadership.
4. Contractor Coordination & Stakeholder Engagement
Act as the central HSE interface across EPC partners, subcontractors, and JV teams.
Ensure consistent application of safety standards, expectations, and controls across all delivery partners.
Facilitate toolbox talks, safety briefings, workshops, and cross-contractor
