Lead and support incident investigations, identifying trends and translating learnings into practical improvements

Strengthen safety leadership and behavioural safety, coaching leaders and teams to build accountability at every level

Lead HSE requirements for new project and site mobilisations

Monitor HSEQ performance and provide meaningful insights and recommendations to senior leadership

Build capability across project teams through coaching,



training and workforce competency initiatives

What will set you up for success

We’re looking for an established HSE professional who understands the realities of delivering safety outcomes within complex construction and project environments.

You’ll ideally bring:

Significant experience in a senior HSE/HSEQ leadership role within construction, resources or a similarly high-risk environment

Demonstrated experience supporting the delivery of construction projects

Experience leading or developing HSE professionals and site teams

Demonstrated capability across risk management, critical controls, auditing and incident investigation

The confidence to influence a broad stakeholder group, from frontline teams and contractors through to clients and senior leadership
