This will be achieved by building sustainable products that are superior to traditional technology in terms of Performance, Emotion and Design. The Role You will be Stark’s first internal Health & Safety leader (Responsable de Prevención de Riesgos Laborales) — the owner of prevention across our factory and offices, and the foundation of the internal prevention service (servicio de prevención propio) we will constitute as we grow past 500 employees. You will report to the People Director and carry a mandate signed by leadership, including stop-work authority. You will set the prevention plan, drive it through the line, and manage our external prevention provider (SPA) as a technical partner. Safety at Stark will have your name on it. What You’ll Do Own the prevention plan: risk assessments, planning of preventive activity, and its execution across production, battery assembly, logistics, testing and offices

Investigate accidents and near-misses, drive corrective actions to closure, and report openly to leadership

Build and run the safety training matrix with HR, including mandatory PRL training by trade under the convenio del metal

Sit on the comité de seguridad y salud and work day-to-day with workers’ representatives (delegados de prevención)

Manage the external prevention service (SPA) contract - setting the agenda rather than following it

Run coordination of business activities (CAE) for contractors and visitors on site

Gate new equipment, process changes and chemical introductions: nothing is commissioned without a documented safety review

Own emergency plans and drills, and safety KPIs: frequency and severity rates, near-miss reporting, training completion, action closure

Prepare the constitution of the servicio de prevención propio and set the roadmap toward ISO 45001 certification

Manage relations with the labor authority and Inspección de Trabajo when required

Experience with CAE platforms, machine safety (CE marking, RD 1215/1997) and ideally lithium battery or ATEX environments

ISO 45001 implementation or audit experience valued

Professional Spanish and English — you will work with the factory floor and an international engineering team

The character to stop a line, say why, and hold the standard when it is inconvenient

Why work with us? A mandate signed by leadership: stop-work authority, direct escalation, and a safety budget — you will not be a recommendation-writer

The chance to build a prevention function from the ground up

The chance to work on a product people are genuinely passionate about

A fast-growing company with real momentum

A creative, international team based in Barcelona

Competitive salary and benefits package

Direct access to riders, race teams, and the product — this is not a remote-from-the-product role
