Drive a culture of safety, risk prevention, and well-being for a multicultural workforce engaged in high-profile maritime projects. Ensure compliance with Chinese, international regulatory standards and client requirements throughout the shipyard environment. Deliver proactive safety outreach, communication, and training, actively supporting continuous improvement in all safety practices. Key Responsibilities Develop, review, and update health and safety plans, procedures, and risk assessments tailored for new build vessel construction at the Chinese shipyard. Lead site-based safety audits, inspections, and accident/incident investigations, driving rapid resolution and effective root cause analysis. Champion the identification and mitigation of hazards relating to steelwork, outfitting, fabrication, heavy lifting, hot work, and confined spaces. Manage day-to-day health and safety performance; track KPIs, disseminate best practices, and ensure accurate reporting to stakeholders and regulatory authorities. Provide clear, proactive health and safety guidance to all personnel, contractors, and visitors – promoting inclusivity and team engagement in safety initiatives. Deliver comprehensive safety induction and ongoing training to a diverse, international workforce, ensuring language and cultural considerations are addressed. Support emergency response planning, drills, and incident management for the shipyard site, fostering robust preparedness at all times.

Strong leadership, communication, and influencing skills – able to work effectively in multicultural, multilingual environments and with diverse stakeholder groups. Exceptional organisational, analytical, and reporting abilities. Experience delivering safety training, toolbox talks, and incident investigations within construction or shipbuilding settings. English language proficiency (written and spoken) is desirable; Mandarin or previous working experience in China is highly desirable. Preparedness for on-site presence at the Chinese shipyard, with flexibility to travel as project schedules require.
