This is a unique opportunity to shape how safety is led across a complex, evolving business and to make a meaningful impact on people, culture and outcomes.

About the role

As Zinfra’s Group Health, Safety & Environment Manager, you partner with a complex, geographically dispersed, high-risk operational business to drive consistent and meaningful safety outcomes.

Drawing on deep experience in building capable and trusted HSE Business Partnering teams, you translate enterprise HSE strategy into practical, operational delivery. Partnering with the Zinfra Leadership Team and operational leaders, you support embedment of a line-led safety culture - where the business owns risk and HSE acts as an enabler and trusted advisor to design and execute safe work.

This role requires the ability to influence at a senior level, navigate complexity and bring people together across diverse contracts, stakeholders and operating environments.

You lead and develop teams in a way that fosters trust, brings people with you, and delivers consistent, high-quality outcomes.
