Full-time

Ramboll is a global architecture, engineering, and consultancy company. As a foundation-owned people company, founded in Denmark, we believe that the purpose of sustainable change is to create a thriving world for both nature and people. So, that’s where we start – and how we work. Our history is rooted in a clear vision of how a responsible company should act and being open and curious is a cornerstone of our culture.

Ramboll in the Americas has thousands of experts working across more than 70 offices. Ramboll experts deliver innovative solutions across Environment & Health, Water, Energy, and Planning & Urban Design.

This role provides senior HSE leadership for Ramboll Energy as well as other GBA major project portfolios in the Americas, with a primary focus on aligning HSE planning, governance, resourcing and execution across major projects, including EPC and EPCM delivery models. Rather than operating as the day-to-day HSE Manager for every project, the role will work upstream with internal stakeholders to ensure HSE is engaged early in business development, tendering, project planning and delivery preparation.

The successful candidate will partner with Project Delivery, procurement, sales and tender management, engineering, commissioning and other key functions to make sure HSE risks, responsibilities, resource needs and delivery expectations are clearly understood before projects move into execution.

The ideal candidate will be a credible senior HSE professional with strong major-project experience, sound understanding of EPC and EPCM delivery models, and the ability to influence internal stakeholders before key commercial and delivery decisions are made. They will be comfortable operating across a portfolio of projects, strengthening the way HSE is integrated into the project delivery model, supporting Project HSE Managers where escalation is needed, and stepping into a project HSE Manager role only where project demand or resource constraints require direct deployment.

• Work with internal stakeholders to define scalable HSE organisation structures, resource requirements and competency needs for major projects before execution risks materialise.
• Support project teams in identifying when dedicated Project HSE Manager support, specialist HSE input or additional project HSE resources are required.
