- Align EHS and Services on practical implementation and performance expectations across the region.
- Build strong working relationships across regional and local EHS teams to ensure local requirements are interpreted and applied in a practical, consistent way.
- Establish a strong regional EHS operating rhythm, including reviews, incident calls, action follow-up and ongoing performance tracking.
- Consolidate regional EHS data and ensure accurate, timely internal and external reporting.
- Coordinate incident investigations, ensuring accidents and compliance events are properly investigated, documented, reported and followed through to closure.
- Coordinate EHS training delivery and build organisational capability through clear guidance, coaching and leadership engagement.
- Monitor regulatory developments, emerging risks and industry practices to ensure standards, controls and ways of working remain current, compliant and effective.
- Lead audit programmes to identify existing and potential EHS risks, define corrective and preventative actions, and ensure timely resolution of findings.
