• Active involvement in construction projects, ensuring the implementation and monitoring of health, safety, and environmental measures, particularly in complex or high-risk scenarios such as the expansion of operational facilities.

• Deliver training and coaching to supervisors and project teams.

• Drive incident investigations and lead root cause analysis.

• Monitor and report safety performance, KPIs, and lessons learned.

• Support contractor qualification and safety documentation processes.
