About the company
This established infrastructure and utilities services organisation delivers complex essential services across the upper North Island. Operating in technically demanding, high-risk environments the business supports major industrial and commercial clients through long-term partnerships.
Well regarded for operational capability and practical delivery, they combine strong field leadership with a clear focus on critical risk management, system improvement and learning. Safety is embedded into how work is planned and executed – not treated as a standalone function.
About the role
This is a visible, hands-on leadership role embedded in a busy operational environment. The role leads and mentors a team and you’ll partner closely with the Regional Manager and operational leaders, supporting teams working in complex, high-risk environments where critical controls matter.
You will shape and evolve the region’s critical risk and SIF prevention approach while remaining credible and comfortable in steel-cap environments. This is not a desk-based advisory position. Presence matters.
The role is also externally facing, with regular engagement alongside a key client. You’ll need to be confident influencing at a strategic level while maintaining strong relationships on the ground.
Contemporary safety thinking is a genuine priority. Experience applying Human and Organisational Performance (HOP) principles is highly valued – particularly the ability to facilitate learning teams, explore work-as-done, understand system influences on performance and design controls that build capacity rather than simply enforce compliance.
Duties
- Lead regional HSQE strategy and performance improvement plans
- Mentor and develop a team of HSQE professionals
- Strengthen critical risk and SIF prevention frameworks
- Facilitate learning teams and operational reviews
- Build trusted relationships with clients and internal stakeholders
Skills and experience
- Proven HSQE leadership in operational, field-based environments
- Strong working knowledge of HOP and contemporary safety science
- Experience managing high-energy hazards and critical risk controls
- Confident engaging frontline teams and senior stakeholders
- Relevant qualifications and professional registration
Culture
People here take pride in the work, support each other and understand that strong relationships drive strong performance. Senior leadership sets the example when it comes to presence and accountability.
Benefits
- Competitive salary and benefits
- Ongoing professional development
- Insurance and discounts
