Role Details:

• Support the Project HSE Manager and wider project team to embed best-practice HSE and risk management across a large-scale major capital project
• Maintain a strong on-site presence (approximately 80% site / 20% office), proactively identifying hazards, unsafe behaviours and non-conformances before incidents occur
• Act as a visible, hands-on safety presence on site – observing work in progress, intervening when things don’t look right, and coaching contractors on safer ways of working
• Lead and support HSE initiatives including site inductions, contractor engagement, audits, incident investigations and injury management
• Work closely with contractors from varying safety backgrounds, managing pushback professionally and influencing behaviour through education rather than enforcement
• Oversee and maintain existing project HSE systems, standards, emergency management documentation and the project risk register (no policy writing required)
• Document site observations through photos, reports and records, and contribute to HSE performance reporting and compliance requirements

• Minimum 5 years’ experience in a hands-on HSE role on commercial construction or major capital works projects (residential experience will not be suitable)

Additional Details & Benefits:

• Hands-on, supervisor-level role with genuine influence over on-site safety outcomes
• New position created to strengthen safety focus following recent incidents
• While this contract is project-based, strong performers are likely to be recommended for future projects within the organisation
