This is a pivotal role working across capital projects contributing to the safe delivery of critical infrastructure projects, including long-term site initiatives such as berth remediation works.

• leading and supporting incident investigations and corrective actions
• conducting site audits, safety inspections and field-based assurance activities
• facilitating safety meetings and driving proactive safety engagement
• engaging with external regulators and governance bodies as required
