• Lead or coordinate risk assessments, job safety analyses, and job hazard analyses for high‑risk construction activities.
• Review hazards and controls related to deep excavations, shoring, working near services, bridge works, formwork, falsework, working at height, lifting operations, crane use, heavy plant movement, and road works near live traffic.
• Ensure safe systems of work, method statements, permits, temporary works procedures, and control measures are properly prepared, approved, communicated, and implemented.
• Support Management of Change processes when construction methods, designs, access conditions, sequencing, or site risks change.
• Conduct regular site inspections, walkthroughs, HSE audits, focused observations, and compliance checks across active work areas.
• Record inspection findings, assign corrective actions, track closure, and verify that actions are effective.
• Confirm compliance with national HSE regulations, road construction codes, temporary traffic management requirements, environmental permits, client procedures, and project rules.

• Lead or support investigations of incidents, near misses, unsafe acts, unsafe conditions, and high‑potential events.
• Apply root cause analysis methods and develop corrective and preventive actions to prevent recurrence.
• Maintain incident records, safety statistics, trend analysis, and performance summaries for project and HSE leadership.
• Organize or participate in emergency drills covering falls from height, plant strikes, vehicle collisions, trench collapse, fire, confined space events, and other civil construction scenarios.
• Support environmental management plans for roads and civil projects, including erosion control, sediment control, dust control, noise control, fuel storage, chemical handling, hazardous substances, and waste management.
• Monitor proper waste segregation, disposal practices, spill prevention, watercourse protection, and controls for flora, fauna, and sensitive receptors.
• Verify compliance with environmental permits, licenses, local regulations, and project environmental requirements.
• Identify training needs for roads, civil, and structural works, including excavation safety, working at height, lifting operations, temporary traffic management, confined spaces, and plant and equipment safety.
• Deliver or coordinate inductions, toolbox talks, refresher training, awareness campaigns, and focused safety briefings.
