Your new role

This role provides strategic and hands-on safety leadership for all EPCM projects across North

America. The position focuses on programmatic integration and management of Ramboll H&S

programs across multiple concurrent EPCM projects, not serving as a single on-site lead. The

successful candidate will shape the overall business wide safety culture, drive contractor

alignment, and serve as a trusted advisor to Project Directors and EPCM leadership. However,

successful candidates must have on-site experience leading safety on very large scale EPCM

projects as part of their work history.

Your key responsibilities will be:

Strategic HSE Leadership

• Develop and implement a programmatic approach to project-specific HSE strategies, plans,
  
  and procedures across all EPCM projects.
• Serve as primary HSE advisor to Project Directors and EPCM leadership teams.
• Drive adoption of Ramboll's Caring Together HSS program across engineering, procurement,
  
  and construction phases.
• Provide strategic guidance to EPCM and HSE leadership during proposals and contract negotiations to align client expectations and secure client support that will enable Ramboll to effectively manage safety on EPCM projects.

Safety Program Organization & Implementation

• Define HSE organization structures that are scalable with the ability to support multi-project
  
  EPCM delivery on a nationwide basis.
• Clarify roles, responsibilities, interfaces, and governance models required for integrated
  
  EPCM safety programs.
• Establish standardized HSE execution plans across engineering, procurement, construction,
  
  commissioning, and turnover.

Contractor & Multi-Party Coordination

• Coordinate HSE expectations and performance across multiple contractors and subcontractors.
  
  Drive alignment of HSE expectations and performance across contractors, subcontractors, and
  
  third-party stakeholders.
• Lead contractor onboarding, alignment sessions, audits, and recurring performance reviews.
• Ensure safety requirements are embedded into contracting, procurement documents, and bid
  
  packages.

Risk Management & Field Leadership

• Direct hazard identification, high-risk work reviews, and CHAs across diverse EPCM scopes
  
  to ensure consistent risk management execution.
• Champion the implementation of risk-based controls and foster alignment among all executing
  
  parties.
• Support and, when required, lead investigations of higher-severity incidents.

Safety Culture & Engagement

• Model visible leadership that builds trust, accountability, and proactive safety behavior.
• Coach leadership teams to reinforce leading indicators and cultural expectations.
• Promote open communication, psychological safety, and continuous improvement efforts.

Regulatory & Compliance Oversight

• Ensure compliance with applicable health, safety, and environmental regulations.
• Represent Ramboll in client audits, regulatory inspections, and EPCM governance meetings.

Performance Management & Reporting

• Monitor leading and lagging indicators and identify performance trends.
• Prepare reports and communicate insights to internal and external stakeholders.

About you

• Bachelor's degree in Occupational Health & Safety, Engineering, or related field.
• 10+ years of progressive on-site HSE leadership experience with substantial large-scale
  
  EPC/EPCM project exposure.
• Strong background supporting multi-contractor, high-risk industrial construction
  
  environments.
• Demonstrated ability to influence without direct authority.
  
  Strong communication, facilitation, and stakeholder management skills.

Preferred:

• Professional certifications (CSP, CMIOSH, NEBOSH, CRSP, or equivalent).
• Experience in energy, mining, chemicals, industrial manufacturing, or large-scale
  
  infrastructure.
• Experience supporting owner's EPCM models across multiple concurrent projects.
• International or remote project experience.

What we can offer you

• Investment in your development
• Being valued for the unique person you are
• Never being short of inspiration from colleagues, clients, and projects
• The long-term thinking of a foundation-owned company
