  • Manage contractors and safe systems of work (Permit-to-Work, isolations/LOTO, method statements and risk assessments)
  • Monitor and improve KPIs across safety, production, quality, reliability, and budget performance
  • Collaborate with Operations, Engineering, Maintenance, Laboratory, Supply Chain, and external vendors to deliver site objectives
  • Support internal and external audits and inspections; embed continuous improvement programmes

  • Working knowledge of WHS requirements and high-hazard safety expectations (Permit-to-Work, isolations/LOTO, contractor management, incident investigation, MOC; major hazard facility practices where applicable)
  • Familiarity with common plant systems and tools such as CMMS/EAM (e.g., SAP/Maximo), process historians (e.g., PI System), and standard engineering documentation practices
