Lead HSE across complex construction projects, influence senior stakeholders and build a high-performing safety team.
Sodexo is looking for an experienced HSE Projects Manager to take a leadership role across our construction project portfolio.
Based in Perth with regular travel to remote sites, this is an opportunity for an experienced HSE leader with a robust construction and EPCM background to step into a highly visible role, leading a team of HSE professionals and partnering with operational leaders, clients, contractors and project teams.
You’ll be at the forefront of how HSE is embedded into project delivery, from mobilisation and construction through to assurance and continuous improvement.

Lead HSE across construction projects, ensuring safety is embedded throughout mobilisation and project delivery
Partner with project leaders, clients, contractors and operational teams to manage HSE requirements and influence positive safety outcomes

Drive HSE assurance through site inspections, audits, investigations and performance reviews
Ensure alignment with WHS legislation, ISO standards, client requirements and Sodexo HSEQ systems
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
Strong communication and reporting skills, with the ability to turn HSE data and trends into meaningful action
The ability to manage multiple projects and priorities within a changing operational environment
Flexibility to undertake regular travel to remote sites, including supporting project mobilisations when required
