What We're Looking For

This role is not intended for a technical HSE specialist.

Instead, we're looking for someone who can:

• Bring practical HSE governance knowledge and market best practices.
• Collaborate effectively across teams and support cross-functional initiatives.
• Work closely with external consultants and vendors rather than performing technical HSE work themselves.
• Support regional projects and travel when required.
• Balance strategic governance work with day-to-day operational responsibilities.

Key Priorities

The successful candidate will focus on two main areas:

1. Regional HSE Governance (≈50%)
   
   • Co-develop HSE frameworks, policies and processes with senior management.
   • Roll out HSE initiatives across the regional offices.
   • Recommend industry best practices to strengthen governance.
2. Facilities & Asset Management (≈50%)
   
   • Oversee facilities operations and asset governance.
   • Manage vendors and workplace services.
   • Ensure smooth day-to-day operational support.

Important Hiring Insights

• This is currently a contract position, with the potential for future headcount conversion subject to business approval.
• The role is regional, requiring collaboration with stakeholders across multiple countries.
• Heavy technical HSE work is outsourced to consultants, so the focus is on governance, coordination and vendor management.
• The ideal candidate should be a strong team player who is willing to contribute beyond their core responsibilities and support broader business initiatives.

Ideal Target Background

Candidates with experience from the following environments would be highly relevant:

• Regional corporate offices
• MNCs
• Shared Services or Regional HQs
• Facilities management organisations
• Real estate or property management firms
• Manufacturing or industrial companies with regional HSE governance responsibilities
