• Own and continuously improve the permit-to-work system for high-risk activities, ensuring robust control of isolations, lock-out/tag-out (LOTO), and change management in live environments.
• Plan and carry out regular site inspections and audits of controlled spaces; track actions to closure and report trends to leadership.
• Establish and manage incident and near-miss reporting, investigation, and root cause analysis processes; ensure high-quality investigations, lessons learned, and effective preventive actions across all shifts and vendors.
• Analyze safety performance data (TCIR/LTIFR/DART, near misses, unsafe conditions, audit findings), prepare dashboards, and recommend targeted improvements to reduce risk.
• Develop and deliver safety training programs for data center staff and contractors, including induction, electrical safety awareness, LOTO, working at height, confined space, manual handling, and emergency response.
• Coach and influence team members to embed safe systems of work into activities without impacting critical uptime.
• Lead or support safety committees, toolbox talks, and behavioral safety initiatives to build a strong safety culture across operations.
• Ensure readiness for client, corporate, and regulatory audits; coordinate documentation, accompany auditors on site, and manage follow-up actions.
• Maintain up-to-date knowledge of local health and safety requirements, data center best practices, and client standards; translate these into practical controls for site teams.

ESSENTIAL CRITERIA:

• Bachelor's degree in Occupational Health & Safety, Environmental Health (or equivalent relevant experience).
• Recognized health and safety qualification or certification (e.g., NEBOSH Diploma, CSP, CMIOSH/GradIOSH, or equivalent).
• 4–7+ years of experience in an HSE/safety management role, with significant exposure to data centers, critical facilities, or high-risk industrial/technical environments (HV/LV electrical, mechanical, construction, logistics).
• Proven track record of leading incident investigations, performing risk assessments, and running site audits in complex, contractor-heavy environments.

SKILLS:

• Strong leadership and influencing skills, able to coach team members in a high-pressure, uptime-critical environment.
• Excellent communication and training skills, with the ability to engage both front-line technicians and senior stakeholders, often across multiple and cultures.
• Strong analytical skills, comfortable working with safety data, dashboards, and metrics to drive decisions and prioritize actions.
• Deep understanding of high-risk activities common in data centers (electrical safety, working at height, lifting, confined spaces, hot works, construction interfaces) and practical risk controls.
• High level of integrity and resilience, with a pragmatic approach that balances safety, operational continuity, and client expectations.
