You'll work closely with the Head of Operational Safety, as well as individual and regional project leaders, to instill a people-focused and sustainable H&S culture on some of the world's largest and most exciting joint ventures and projects.

​

You'll be;

* A confident and experienced influencer - You'll be the group's global H&S lead for all joint ventures and capital growth projects, working closely with a variety of stakeholders to ensure a shared, best-in-class H&S culture globally.
