• Providing practical HS&E advice and support to operational and site teams.
• Reviewing Construction Phase Plans, Emergency Response Plans, RAMS and project documentation.
• Conducting site inspections, HS&E reviews and environmental audits.
• Supporting ISO 14001 compliance and environmental performance standards.
• Investigating incidents and non‑conformities, identifying root causes and supporting corrective actions.
• Monitoring HS&E performance through KPIs and supporting continuous improvement initiatives.
• Delivering HS&E briefings, training and best practice guidance.
• Supporting supply chain onboarding and ongoing HS&E performance monitoring.
• Building strong relationships with clients, contractors and operational stakeholders.

You will need:
