3. Advisory & Collaboration: Providing expert advice, guidance, and fostering collaboration with all design team partners and construction contractors. You will promote a risk-averse approach to managing all construction program elements, ensuring alignment with the client's interests.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

1. Program Support & Evaluation: Assist the CEHS Team leadership by providing oversight and governance on Construction HSE programs and initiatives, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and the client's Health, Safety & Environmental duties. Review and evaluate existing and new CEHS programs, recommending necessary changes.

Project Stakeholder Management: Collaborate with the construction HSE team, Project Executives (PE), Project Managers (PM), and other key stakeholders to manage all aspects of Real Estate Design & Delivery works. This includes new site planning, building technical due diligence, existing building fit-out design and development, and demolition & construction stage contractors, for more timely and thorough HSE risk management.
3. Local HSE Service Management: Support client Project Executives (PE) & construction Project Managers (PM) in engaging local HSE services, ensuring their competency, and verifying they provide professional services to facilitate the safe planning, construction, commissioning, and handover of buildings and facilities. All in line with the client's Minimum Performance Requirements (MPR).
4. Contractor Collaboration: Collaborate and actively engage with Principal Contractors, Main Contractors, General Contractors, and Sub-Contractors to identify and mitigate health, safety, and environmental risks throughout the project lifecycle.
5. TTO Efficiencies: Work with the client's Regional HSE Operations teams to improve Construction HSE program implementation, especially during the Transition to Operations (TTO) phase.

Reporting & Performance Monitoring

1. Performance Metrics: Monitor injury, illness, and incident-related performance within the assigned project remit, market area, or other designated area. Analyze Contractor/Vendor performance for trends and implement strategic solutions to improve results.
2. Program Support: Support the management, development, and implementation of Construction HSE programs and initiatives to meet regulatory requirements and the client's HSE needs.
3. Documentation & Compliance: Oversee HSE plans, playbooks, and procedures for the account, ensuring they are current, complete, and effectively implemented.

5. Cost & Quality Improvement: Identify opportunities to reduce costs while enhancing HSE and service quality for the client/account.

Safety Culture & Leadership

1. Safety Promotion: Promote safety among employees by providing data, conducting meetings, giving feedback, and visibly supporting safety programs.
2. Leadership: Provide effective leadership through communication, coordination, and collaboration. Build partnerships with staff and employees, acting as their HSE subject matter expert.
