The HSE Advisor supports the PMC’s HSE oversight of a major stormwater infrastructure programme in the UAE. Working under the senior HSE lead, the role monitors contractors’ safety, health and environmental performance on site. It also makes sure the works comply with the contract, UAE regulations and the client’s HSE requirements.

Key responsibilities

• Carry out regular site inspections and audits of contractor activities, record findings and track corrective actions to closure.
• Review contractor HSE plans, risk assessments, method statements and permit-to-work documents, and elevate concerns to the senior HSE lead.
• Monitor high-risk stormwater activities such as trenching and excavation, confined space entry, work at height, lifting operations, traffic management, dewatering and heat stress.
• Support environmental compliance, including dust, noise, waste, spill control and stormwater discharge, and check that permit conditions are met.
• Take part in incident investigations, and help make sure lessons learned are shared.
• Collect HSE data and prepare weekly and monthly reports on HSE performance.
• Check that workers are inducted, trained and competent, and that welfare standards are met.
• Attend HSE meetings, toolbox talks and site walkdowns, and promote good safety behaviour on site.
• Liaise with the contractors’ HSE teams and, where needed, the relevant authorities.

Qualifications and experience

• NEBOSH International General Certificate, or equivalent, as a minimum. The NEBOSH Diploma is preferred, or progress towards it.

• Experience on civil, drainage, water or other infrastructure projects. Stormwater experience is an advantage.
• Experience in a PMC, client-side or supervision role is preferred, but not essential.
