Project HSE Officer

About the company

Our client is the engineering and construction arm of a global industrial gases company, delivering gas and chemical installation projects for the semiconductor industry. In Singapore, its project team is carrying out a chemical and gas installation package on a leading semiconductor manufacturer’s campus. It has a dedicated project execution team and an established HSE management system on site.

About the role

This is a hands-on, site-based HSE role for the 18-month construction phase of the project. Working alongside the Site HSE Manager, you will provide day-to-day HSE supervision on site, making sure every subcontractor does the right job to the right procedure. The site is moving from piling into equipment and instrumentation installation, followed by a heavy programme of piping connections. More subcontractors will mobilise as that happens, and the workforce will build to 70 to 80 people a day at peak. The HSE processes are already in place. The job is making them hold at the workface as the site scales up.

Key responsibilities

Supervise subcontractor activities through daily patrols, inspections and in-depth checks, and track corrective actions through to close-out

Review subcontractor method statements, risk assessments and job hazard analyses, and check that the controls are applied in the field

Run the permit-to-work system for high-risk activities and overlapping work, including excavation, scaffolding, work at height and lifting

Attend critical activities such as heavy lifts, pressure tests and machine commissioning

Enforce Life Saving Rules and the yellow/red card system, and lead toolbox talks and last minute risk analysis (LMRA) before each shift or major task

Check that worker certifications, statutory training and equipment inspections are valid and on file

Report incidents and near misses, support root cause investigations, and organise evacuation, fire and first aid drills

Prepare weekly and monthly HSE reports, inspection records and action trackers for project management and the end customer

What we’re looking for

Workplace Safety and Health Officer (WSHO) certification

HSE experience on large chemical, petrochemical, industrial gas or oil and gas projects

Experience across the full project lifecycle, from construction through commissioning and handover; greenfield and brownfield exposure is an advantage

Confidence supervising several subcontractors at once and holding the line on procedure in the field

Clear written and spoken English for reporting and for dealing with the customer and subcontractors

Able to work actively on site every day, including patrols, inspections and work at height areas

Working arrangements

The role is site-based on a semiconductor campus in Singapore, for the 18-month construction phase. Hours are fixed at eight a day, with Saturday a normal working day. The start is immediate. There are two interview rounds, with the hiring manager and then the Project Director, followed by a final interview with the end customer.
