Compliance Officer

Be our hands-on compliance lead - while impacting the direction
In BWSC you will both operate and continuously develop our compliance efforts with high ownership and access to senior leadership.

This is an opportunity for someone who thrives in a mid-size company environment with high ownership and visibility: you will work closely with various functions, from employee to management level as a trusted advisor, challenge constructively and ensure BWSC has a pragmatic, risk-based approach that is both business-oriented and audit-ready.

BWSC – Ever better energy!
Join us in our mission in building a world of sustainable energy and make a meaningful impact on the world of power generation and energy conversion.

BWSC is a leading player in the power generation industry, specializing in the service, operations, and maintenance of power plants. We are at the forefront of sustainable energy solutions, working closely with Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to develop and construct cutting-edge power-to-x facilities. Our commitment to excellence, innovation, and environmental stewardship sets us apart in the industry.

The position
At BWSC, compliance is not a “large function” with many layers - it is a critical capability that must work in practice, every day. We are looking for a senior compliance professional who enjoys combining hands-on execution with strategic development: you will personally drive key compliance activities (e.g., due diligence, policy maintenance, training, reporting), while also shaping and strengthening our compliance setup to match a dynamic project-based business.

As our Compliance Officer, you will play a key role in safeguarding and continue developing BWSC’s compliance framework across the business. You will act as a trusted advisor to senior leadership and employees, combining strong business understanding with solid compliance expertise - covering everything from third-party due diligence to policies, training, audits and reporting.

You will report to the CPO and for an interim period, our General Counsel. You will collaborate closely with stakeholders across functions and geographies. Below are listed some of the primary tasks and responsibilities:

• Drive and conduct third-party and project due diligence/screening for suppliers, customers and projects, including risk assessments, documentation and recommended mitigations.
• Operate, maintain and develop compliance policies and related procedures/guidelines (e.g., Code of Conduct, Export Control, Sanctions, Gifts & Hospitality, Conflicts of Interest).
• Design and deliver compliance training and awareness (including onboarding and refresher training) and support implementation across the organization.
• Own, manage and promote awareness of the whistleblower line, including handling, investigating and follow-up and report in accordance with legal internal procedures and applicable requirements.
• Participate in and support audit readiness (internal/external), including evidence, documentation and follow-up on findings and corrective actions.
• Provide regular reporting to management and the parent company, including preparation of materials and participation in governance forums such as the Audit, Risk & Compliance Committee.
• Act as an ongoing advisor and sparring partner to C-level and senior leaders on compliance matters, risks and trends, confidently challenging decisions and ways of working when needed.

Qualifications
We foresee that the ideal candidate thrives with significant ownership in a dynamic environment. You combine high integrity with a pragmatic, business-oriented mindset and the ability to build trust across all levels.

• Relevant higher education within law, business, finance, governance/compliance or similar.
• Extensive experience in compliance with ownership of both operational execution and tactical/strategic development of a compliance setup.
• Strong experience with third-party due diligence and screening (suppliers/customers/projects), including risk classification and mitigation planning.
• Proven ability to develop and maintain compliance policies and translate requirements into practical, business-oriented guidance.
• Experience with training/awareness and driving behavioral change across stakeholders.
• Experience within financial compliance and controls (e.g., internal controls or financial risk areas) is a strong advantage.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English.
• Able to work independently, structured and detail-oriented, ensuring audit-ready documentation.
• Strong stakeholder management skills; comfortable advising and sparring with senior management/C-level executives.
