• Support injury management and return-to-work processes
• Maintain HSE reporting requirements across internal and client systems
• Drive positive safety outcomes through visible leadership and meaningful field engagement
• Champion a Human and Organisational Performance (HOP) and learning culture approach to safety

About you
