HSE Manager

We are seeking an experienced, hands-on HSE Manager to take ownership of day-to-day health, safety, and environmental compliance throughout the construction phase. This is a site role requiring daily presence on-site, close coordination with the project team, main contractor, and subcontractors, and direct oversight of all HSE activities from mobilization through to handover.

• Implement the project-specific HSE plan, method statements, and risk assessments in coordination with the main contractor and subcontractors.
• Conduct daily site walks, weekly formal inspections, and scheduled audits; issue non-compliance notices and track close-out.
• Investigate site incidents, accidents, and near-misses on the spot; prepare incident reports and root cause analyses within required time frames.
• Deliver site inductions for all new workers, staff, and visitors before site access is granted.
• Conduct daily toolbox talks and weekly HSE training sessions for site workforce and subcontractor teams.
• Review and approve contractor method statements, risk assessments (RAMS), and permits-to-work (hot work, confined space, working at height, lifting, excavation, etc.).
• Maintain site HSE records: inspection logs, training registers, permit registers, incident logs, and inspection checklists.
• Coordinate with civil defense, municipality inspectors, and other authorities during site visits and audits.
• Lead site emergency response, including fire drills, evacuation procedures, and first-aid/muster point arrangements.
• Monitor housekeeping, PPE compliance, scaffolding, temporary works, and site welfare facilities.
• Report daily/weekly HSE statistics (manhours, incidents, observations, LTIFR) to the Project Manager and Corporate HSE.
• Chair or participate in weekly site HSE committee meetings with the contractor and subcontractors.

• Bachelor's degree in Occupational Health & Safety, Environmental Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• Minimum 9-12 years of HSE experience on construction sites, with at least 3 years in a site-based HSE Manager or Senior HSE Officer role.
• NEBOSH Diploma / IGC (or equivalent) required; OSHA construction safety certification is a plus.
• Willing and able to be on-site full-time, including outdoor conditions, and to walk active construction areas daily.
• Solid working knowledge of local municipality, civil defense, and environmental authority requirements.
• Experience with mixed-use construction projects preferred.
• Strong ability to enforce compliance firmly while maintaining good working relationships with contractor teams.
