The HSE Officer will play an important role in maintaining effective health, safety and environmental standards throughout maintenance and shutdown operations. The successful candidate will provide visible HSE support in the field, monitor workplace activities and help ensure that work is planned and completed in accordance with applicable legislation, client requirements and Prommac procedures.

A key part of the role will be conducting regular workplace inspections to identify unsafe conditions, unsafe behaviours and emerging risks. Where concerns are identified, the HSE Officer will communicate these clearly, support practical corrective measures and follow through to ensure that agreed actions are properly implemented.

The position also requires active involvement in hazard identification and risk assessment activities. This includes conducting HIRA processes, reviewing existing risk assessments and ensuring that relevant HSE documentation remains accurate, accessible and aligned with the work being performed. The HSE Officer will also support the management of legal appointments, work permits, personal protective equipment requirements and statutory inspections.

Incident management is another important responsibility. The successful candidate will participate in investigations, determine contributing factors and support corrective and preventative actions that reduce the likelihood of recurrence. Accurate documentation and timely reporting will be essential.

The HSE Officer will regularly engage with the workforce through toolbox talks, safety meetings, site discussions and awareness initiatives. Strong communication skills are therefore essential, together with the confidence to address safety concerns constructively and consistently across different levels of the project team.

Internal and external HSE audits will form part of the role. The HSE Officer will assist with preparation, provide supporting documentation where required and monitor the close-out of identified findings.

Prommac expects every team member to contribute to a working environment built around Safety First, People Centricity, Agility and Responsibility. For this position, that means remaining alert to changing site conditions, treating people with respect, responding quickly to emerging risks and taking ownership of safety responsibilities.

The role is suited to a practical and organised safety professional who is comfortable working in an active project environment. Candidates should be able to balance compliance requirements with effective field engagement and demonstrate sound judgement when responding to operational HSE matters.
