Position: HSE Manager
Key Responsibilities
1. Owner Safety Requirements & Target Alignment
- Review and advise on the alignment of DB’s Safety Management Plan and implementation framework with HPSI’s Safety Policies, Targets, and site-specific requirements.
- Identify gaps between Owner requirements and DB’s safety execution and recommend appropriate corrective and improvement measures.
- Provide guidance to ensure that project safety objectives and Owner expectations are effectively communicated and implemented at the site level.
2. Field-Focused Safety Oversight
- Conduct regular site walk-downs to observe actual work activities, identify potential hazards, and assess field safety conditions, rather than relying solely on document-based audits.
- Work directly with DB’s Safety Manager and Construction Team to discuss practical improvement measures and follow up on corrective actions.
- Promote proactive hazard identification and timely resolution of safety concerns through active field engagement.
3. Shipyard / Construction Safety Interface Coordination
- Serve as a key safety interface coordinator between existing Shipyard Operations and DB Construction activities.
- Proactively identify and coordinate safety risks associated with simultaneous operations (SIMOPS), work area boundaries, site access and traffic routes, and the movement of equipment and materials between project construction areas and ongoing shipyard operations.
- Coordinate safety-related matters among HPSI, Shipyard Operations, and Contractors, supporting Owner-level decision-making and resolution of interface issues.
- Facilitate effective communication and coordination to minimize operational disruptions and prevent safety incidents arising from overlapping activities.
4. DB Safety Performance Monitoring & Coaching
- Review DB’s Site Safety Plan, Risk Assessments / JHA / JSA, Permit-to-Work procedures, and safety management practices for high-risk activities.
- Provide proactive guidance and field-based coaching to improve DB’s safety performance, emphasizing pre-task intervention and hazard prevention rather than reactive findings after incidents occur.
- Monitor DB’s implementation of safety requirements and provide recommendations for continuous improvement.
- Maintain a clear distinction between Owner/PMC oversight responsibilities and DB’s primary responsibility for site safety planning and execution.
5. Incident & Corrective Action Follow-up
- Review DB’s root cause analyses and corrective/preventive action plans for incidents, near misses, and significant safety concerns from the Owner’s perspective.
- Monitor the implementation and effectiveness of corrective actions to prevent recurrence.
- Identify recurring or common safety risks and facilitate the sharing of lessons learned between Shipyard Operations and Project Construction teams.
- Recommend additional preventive measures where systemic or recurring safety issues are identified.
Required Qualifications & Experience
- Extensive field safety experience on large-scale construction, industrial, or shipyard projects in the United States.
- Strong practical knowledge of OSHA-based construction safety requirements and contractor safety management.
- Ability to work collaboratively with contractors from an Owner’s Representative / PMC perspective, identifying and resolving safety issues in the field rather than simply enforcing compliance.
- Proven experience in interface coordination between operating facilities and active construction projects.
- Strong communication and coordination skills, with the ability to work directly with Safety Managers, Construction Managers, Operations personnel, and Owner’s Management.
- Demonstrated practical, proactive, and field-oriented safety leadership capabilities.
