The HSEWW Engineer will help strengthen safety and environmental performance across power utilities projects where electrical hazards, live-line proximity, switching activities, working at height, excavation, lifting, confined spaces, and traffic interfaces require disciplined field control. This position supports project teams by implementing HSE procedures, reviewing contractor documentation, inspecting site activities, investigating incidents, delivering training, and promoting a practical safety culture that protects workers, supports compliance, and improves operational reliability across critical utility infrastructure.

• Implement and maintain HSE policies, procedures, standards, and project‑specific controls for power utilities infrastructure.
• Ensure compliance with applicable HSE legislation, electrical safety regulations, environmental permits, client requirements, and utility‑specific standards.
• Conduct regular HSE inspections and audits across substations, transmission and distribution works, switching stations, underground networks, construction sites, and associated facilities.
• Track inspection and audit findings, assign corrective actions, monitor closure, and verify the effectiveness of completed actions.
• Support development, review, and continuous improvement of the HSE Management System for power utilities projects, construction works, operations, and maintenance activities.
• Lead or participate in risk assessments, job safety analyses, hazard identification studies, and task‑specific safety reviews for high‑risk power utility activities.
• Identify and control hazards related to MV, LV, and HV electrical works, live‑line proximity, switching, isolation, cable laying, excavation, work at height, lifting, traffic management, and confined or enclosed spaces.
• Review and approve contractor HSE plans, method statements, risk assessments, permits to work, rescue plans, and activity‑specific control measures.
• Work with engineering, construction, operations, and contractor teams to plan safe work around energized and de‑energized assets.
• Support incident and near‑miss reporting, investigation, root‑cause analysis, evidence collection, and corrective action planning.
• Follow up on corrective and preventive actions to ensure lessons are implemented across relevant teams and work fronts.
• Maintain incident statistics, trend analysis, performance reports, and safety dashboards focused on electrical safety, working at height, construction risks, and environmental performance.
• Participate in emergency preparedness planning, response drills, and scenario testing for electrical contact, arc flash, fires, equipment failures, severe weather, and network‑related incidents.
• Monitor environmental aspects linked to power utilities construction and operations, including waste handling, hazardous materials, spill prevention, resource use, and pollution control.
• Ensure environmental permits, waste management requirements, storage controls, spill response procedures, and reporting obligations are properly followed.
• Support environmental monitoring and regulatory reporting where required by the project, client, or authority.
• Develop and deliver HSE induction, refresher training, toolbox talks, awareness campaigns, and safety briefings tailored to power utility risks.
• Promote safety observation programmes focused on critical risks such as electrocution, falls from height, lifting hazards, excavation collapse, traffic exposure, and confined space work.
• Coach supervisors, engineers, contractors, and frontline crews on safe behaviours, procedure compliance, and practical field risk control.
• Support competency assessment for critical safety roles such as authorised electrical persons, switching personnel, rescue teams, and working‑at‑height teams.
