About the role

The role will contribute to HSEMS gap analysis and help establish a practical, field-ready document set aligned with ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 expectations.

This is an 18-month max-term contract role, with potential for extension.

Key responsibilities

• Develop, review and amend HSEMS procedures, guidelines, forms, templates, registers and field tools required for the new operating model.
• Assess existing HSEMS documents and recommend whether they should be adopted, adapted, retired or newly created.
• Maintain a document development register, including status, owners, reviewers, dependencies and approval requirements
• Participate in HSEMS gap analysis against the new operating model, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001.
