• Support contractor prequalification, onboarding, and performance monitoring to ensure contractors meet HSE expectations and contractual obligations.

• Collaborate with engineering, operations, and maintenance to review process safety management elements, mechanical integrity programs, management of change (MOC), and incident learnings for design and operational improvements.

• Maintain HSE performance metrics, prepare reports and dashboards for leadership, and communicate trends, risks, and improvement opportunities to stakeholders.

• Respond to emergencies and support incident command, emergency drills, and continuity planning to ensure readiness and effective response.

• Promote a positive safety culture through visible leadership, coaching, mentoring, and participation in continuous improvement initiatives focused on behavior‑based safety and risk reduction.
