Freiberufliche Fachkraft für Arbeitssicherheit

About the role

We’re looking for a qualified Fachkraft für Arbeitssicherheit with a focus on chemical agents (Gefahrstoffe) to join our freelance network in Germany. You’ll help NextSDS clients assess risks related to hazardous substances, maintain compliance, and implement safe handling practices.

How this works

You bring the NextSDS platform into engagements with the clients you already serve, and we route inbound requests in your region to you. You hold the client relationship. We invoice the client for the platform; you invoice on top for your services.

About NextSDS

NextSDS is a Belgian SaaS platform that turns supplier-formatted Safety Data Sheets into structured data — parsing them, keeping them current against REACH, CLP and national frameworks, flagging restricted substances, and generating the documentation HSE teams used to prepare by hand. We are seed-stage, founded in 2024, backed by KBC Start it and imec.istart.

What you’ll do

• Conduct Gefährdungsbeurteilungen specifically for hazardous substances (Gefahrstoffe)
• Review and validate Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for CLP and REACH compliance
• Advise on AGW (Arbeitsplatzgrenzwerte), storage, and safe handling of chemical agents
• Support clients with their obligations under the Gefahrstoffverordnung and TRGS
• Use the NextSDS platform to handle safety instruction cards, regulatory tracking and risk-assessment drafts faster than you can by hand

What we’re looking for

• A qualified Fachkraft für Arbeitssicherheit (FaSi/SiFa) with relevant certifications
• Strong knowledge of German hazardous substance legislation (GefStoffV, TRGS, ArbSchG)
• Hands-on experience with REACH, CLP, and SDS management
• Comfortable writing risk assessments and safety instruction cards in German
• Ability to work independently and manage multiple client engagements

Why NextSDS

• The platform handles SDS parsing, regulatory tracking and document generation — you spend your time on the judgement work
• You set your own availability and hold the client relationships
• Be part of a Benelux and DACH network of safety professionals working with the same platform
