• Lead and oversee incident investigations, root cause analyses, and corrective action tracking.
• Implement lessons learned initiatives based on incident trends and audit findings and develop proactive safety programmes to enhance operational excellence and cross team collaboration.
• Collaborate and support project managers, construction leads, commissioning teams, and client representatives to embed HSE best practices.
• Participate in client meetings, coordination sessions, and safety forums as a Regional HSE representative.
• Support onboarding and mobilisation of new staff and contractors to ensure alignment with HSE expectations.
• Maintain accurate records for audits, inspections, training, and incident reporting.
