HSEQ Manager

Maritime Constructions is a marine contractor, uniquely capable of self-performing the full spectrum of specialised engineering disciplines to deliver complex marine infrastructure projects, from design and construction, through to commissioning. Our projects include jetties, wharves, bulk loading facilities, dredging, reclamation, navigation aids, marinas, underwater pipelines in Australia and internationally.

We're currently seeking a highly experienced HSEQ Manager to join our team on a permanent, full-time basis, with an immediate start preferred.

This is an opportunity to use your deep industry knowledge, investing in your team, to champion safety and compliance.

You'll be part of a supportive, close-knit team, who thrive on the diverse and challenging nature of our industry. Ideally, you'll have experience in the Marine Construction industry but if not, a general construction or heavy industry background will also be a great fit.

Your attention to detail and commitment to health, safety, environment and quality, will be exemplary, and you will naturally hit the ground running, establishing positive stakeholder relationships both internally and externally, and working with your new team to establish effective and proactive support to the wider company.

Embodying positive leadership, collaboration, and flexibility, you will establish a renewed enthusiasm for safety within your direct reports and Western Australian safety peers.
