Senior Occupational Health and Safety Technician

✨ One platform, a whole world of opportunity

The best jobs have always clustered in a handful of the world's wealthiest cities. But talent is everywhere. Oyster set out to close that gap - building a global employment platform that lets companies hire, pay, and care for brilliant people anywhere.

We're proof that a high-performing culture doesn't need an office. Distributed across 60+ countries since 2020, we've built something the industry keeps noticing:

• Ranked #10 of 250 on TIME and Statista's 2026 list of America's Top WorkTech Companies

• Named one of America's Greatest Startup Workplaces 2026 by Newsweek

• A G2 Spring 2026 Leader across Employer of Record, Global Employment, Multi-country Payroll, and HR Compliance

• The only B Corp-certified global employment platform ~ independently verified since 2023

Two of those rankings measured our business impact from the outside. One measured how our own people feel about working here. They landed in the same place ~ because at Oyster, culture and performance aren't separate conversations. They're the same one.

And we're just getting started. If you want to do the best work of your career alongside people who care as much as you do, we'd love for you to apply.

Alongside your core Spain remit, you’ll bring your expertise to Oyster’s global Health, Safety & Environment (HSE) landscape, supporting teams and external partners across regions and countries. You’ll provide regional and global HSE guidance, share best practices, help strengthen consistent standards, and contribute to Oyster’s broader HSE strategy, while keeping Spain compliance firmly at the heart of the role.

This role is ideal for someone who is passionate about Health & Safety, enjoys working across cultures and geographies, and wants the opportunity to shape how HSE works within a fully remote, global organisation.
